---Thai An 220kV Substation in Vietnam 
                        designed by HRC's affiliated company, Zhejiang Zhongzhou 
                        Planning & Design Co., LTD for Water Conservancy and 
                        Hydropower, was connected to Vietnam National Grid for 
                        operation on September 29, 2011. 
                         Thai An 220kV Substation is equipped 
                        with an OSFSZ10¡ª160MVA/220 three-phase auto-coupling transformer, 
                        with rated capacity of 160/160/50 MVA and transformation 
                        ratio of 225¡À8¡Á1.25%/115/10.5kV.
                        
                           The major function of this substation 
                        is to step up the power generated by Thai An Hydropower 
                        Station and THUAN HOA Hydropower Station to 220kV and 
                        make it connect to Ha Giang 220kV Substation of Vietnam 
                        and further to Vietnam National Grid. 
                         This is the first 220kV substation 
                        that Zhejiang Zhongzhou Planning & Design Co., LTD 
                        for Water Conservancy and Hydropower has undertaken outside 
                        China. Its completion and successful connection to the 
                        grid for operation will enable HRC to accumulate considerable 
                        designing experience to undertake similar overseas projects 
                        in the future. (2011-12-27)
