Most prominent and iconic is the 500kV Line 3 Project from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) - Pho Noi (Hung Yen). This is the largest project in the history of the Electricity industry in terms of total route length, number of pole foundation locations, construction volume and terrain complexity.

With tens of thousands of engineers and workers working simultaneously from Quang Binh to Pho Noi (Hung Yen), working day and night, through Holidays and Tet with familiar slogans at the construction site: "Only discuss work, not backtracking"; " take advantage of eating, sleep urgently, work 3 shifts and 4 teams"; "Overcome the sun, overcome rain, not lose to wind and storm; do not work enough during the day, take advantage of working at night".

The results of completing the project early compared to the schedule are not only technical achievements but also a vivid testament to the strength of the patriotic emulation movement in the Electricity industry in the new era.

Following the above success, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor continues to coordinate with the professional launching to compete in 7 key national projects, including: 500kV Lao Cai - Vinh Yen Power Line; Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant expansion; Quang Trach I Thermal Power Plant; National grid supply for Con Dao district; 500kV Vinh Yen substation; Nghia Lo - Viet Tri 220kV substation Project; Vung Ang 220kV substation.

Many projects have been completed on schedule and ahead of schedule, becoming a bright spot in the emulation movement; contributing to solving urgent requirements for power supply, stabilizing the system and improving national transmission capacity.

In particular, the "500 Best" emulation movement jointly launched by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and EVN Group in power line, hydropower, and thermal power projects has created a vibrant competitive atmosphere, with clear goals and specific criteria: fastest progress - Best quality - Best safety, safety, safety, safety - Best creativity - Best care for life.

According to the Chairman of the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union, from the practice of organizing emulation movements on key projects, the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union drew 6 lessons.

In particular, drastic leadership and direction are decisive factors; strengthening coordination with socio-political organizations; emulation movements must be associated with specific and practical goals; strong propaganda - spreading quickly - creating an action atmosphere; emulation must be associated with caring for workers' lives; rewards must be timely - the right person - the right job.

"At the end of each emulation period, it is necessary to organize a serious preliminary review and summary, correctly evaluate the results and promptly learn from experience. The commendation and reward of outstanding collectives and individuals must be carried out promptly, rewarded directly at the construction site, rewarded at the right time, creating a strong spillover effect; have appropriate support policies for workers participating in construction at key projects, in remote areas, ensuring they are fully cared for and can confidently contribute" - Mr. Do Duc Hung shared.
