For two typical projects of the power industry, according to the Selecting Central Council, the North - South 500 kV system is considered the miracle of the twentieth century. This is an urgent and important solution to resolve the power shortage problem in the Central, the Central Highlands and the South, creating an important turning point for the socio-economic development of the region.

The Hoa Binh Hydropower Project, which generates billions of kWh of electricity annually, has solved the nation's severe power shortage in the 1980s - a difficult year for the country out of the fierce war against foreign invaders. These are typical examples to demonstrate the will, energy, stuff and intelligence of Vietnamese electricians who have contributed significantly to the socio-economic development of the country.
