Đa Nhim Hydroelectric Power Station
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Đa Nhim Hydroelectric Power Station is a power station on the Đa Nhim River in Vietnam. Phase 1 construction started in April 1961 and was finished in January 1964. It has installed capacity of 160 MW. Đa Nhim Lake is at an altitude of 1,042 metres (3,419 ft).
It was the first hydroelectric power station in South Vietnam. Electricity produced here supplied the central region of Vietnam but was unable to reach the large industrial centres in Saigon and Biên Hòa, which had to rely on oil for electricity generation. Two large pipes, crossing the road, carrying water from a height of 1,000 metres to Đa Nhim lake, drive the turbines of the hydropower plant.
The Da Nhim Hydropower Plant Expansion Project installed an additional 80 MW turbine, increasing the total installed capacity to 240 MW. The project commenced in December 2015, and successfully connected to the grid in December 2018, with an estimated annual output of 99 million kWh.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3023393. Authority coordinates are 11.836, 108.681. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1961, 1964, 2015 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
