The current Da Nhim hydropower plant was put into operation on January 15, 1964, with the main task of producing electricity with an average annual output of about 1 billion kWh / year, in addition to providing water for Ninh Thuan province annually is 550 million m3 / year.

Over 50 years of management, operation, and operation, the plant has actively contributed to the power supply for the socio-economic development of the country in general and especially the stable water supply for Ninh province. Prosperous development in particular.

In order to further promote the efficiency of the current Da Nhim Hydropower Plant, the Prime Minister has agreed to the policy of developing the plant expansion project in Power Plan VII with the aim of making the most of the flow. flow through limiting the annual excess discharge through the spillway, increasing the power capacity for the power system, serving the safe and efficient operation of the electricity system at peak hours; maintain stable water supply for agricultural production and daily life of the people in the downstream area of ​​the plant.

The scale of the expansion project is an 80 MW unit, when put into operation, will increase the overall output of Da Nhim Hydropower Plant by 100 million kWh / year. It is expected that the expansion project will be completed and put into operation in the first quarter of 2018.

The expansion project continues to receive capital support from the Government of Japan through Japan International Cooperation Organization (JICA).
