Any potential reliability issues identified during the inspection may then be addressed. The inspections are designed to look for damaged wire, broken cross arms and other hardware problems not visible from the ground. Helicopter inspections are being completed along approximately 2,100 miles of transmission lines located in the Mon Power service area. These images can identify equipment issues such as loose connections, corrosion and load imbalances, and utility workers are able to proactively make repairs to prevent potential power outages in the future. The infrared technology shows heat on a color scale, with bright colors or "hot spots" indicating areas that could need repairs. Substation electricians also inspect critical components through special thermovision cameras, which capture infrared images of electrical equipment that can detect potential problems that aren't visible through regular visual inspections. Mon Power is inspecting substation equipment and winterizing substation control buildings to ensure that essential components of its electrical power system continue to function properly during cold weather. O Mon I currently relies on fuel oil but will switch to natural gas in 2021."By taking these steps now to safeguard our power infrastructure and prepare our utility vehicles, we will be better positioned to respond to the challenges presented by winter weather and continue to deliver safe, reliable electricity when customers are relying on it to stay safe and comfortable," said Jim Myers, president of FirstEnergy's West Virginia operations. O Mon II, III, and IV are currently being proposed for approval. The O Mon 1 plant, which has a capacity of 660MW, is already operational. The power station comprises of four power plants. And the fuel-oil units were scheduled to be switched to natural gas, which would ultimately bring the total gas-fired capacity to 3,810MW.
The power station also has three proposed gas-burning combined cycle units totaling 3,150MW in capacity. The O Mon II project is located in the O Mon Power Complex, which is a 660MW fuel-burning power station in Can Tho. He added that Can Tho is the first investment destination of Marubeni in Vietnam since 1970 with the Tra Noc Thermal Power Plant. said that the company highly appreciated the support of the province, departments, and relevant authorities during the process to complete investment procedures. Tai Miura, general director of Marubeni Asian Power Vietnam Co., Ltd. This project contributed to increasing the total registered FDI capital in the city to $2 billion with 85 projects, seven of which come from Japanese investors with the total registered capital of $1.34 billion. The thermal power project has become the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) project in Can Tho so far. The construction of the project is expected to come into commercial operation in 2024-2025 in order to suit the construction scheme of the Block B Gas Power Project chain. The project is expected to provide power for the national power grid while simultaneously contributing to attracting foreign and domestic investment, promoting socioeconomic growth in Can Tho and the Mekong River Delta Region. Previously in late December 2020, the prime minister approved the investment planning of O Mon II thermal power plant.
The investment registration certificate was presented to the developers at a ceremony organised on February 8. The O Mon II thermal power plant has received investment registration certificate
