Based on the approved comprehensive socio-economic development plan of the locality, summarize the main socio-economic development goals of the locality, emphasizing the following aspects:

a) Forecast of population development and rural urbanization.

b) Development of agricultural production, irrigation systems serving agriculture.

c) Development of local industry and small-scale cottage industry, central industries located in the locality. It is necessary to emphasize projects with feasibility, and economically disadvantaged areas to formulate appropriate and effective power grid systems.

d) The relationship between socio-economic development and power development.

Chapter III. Forecast of electricity demand.

3.1. Methodology and basis for forecasting electricity demand.

a) Introduce models and methods for forecasting electricity demand.

b) Select models and methods for forecasting electricity demand that are suitable for the locality's circumstances.

3.2. Load zoning for electricity.

Load zoning must be consistent with the approved overall development plan of the locality and the financial feasibility of major industrial projects. On this basis, clearly define:

a) High feasibility industrial zones.

b) Industrial projects without clear financial feasibility, unable to calculate clear economic benefits.

c) Urbanizing residential areas.

d) Pure agricultural residential areas with normal economic development.

đ) Economically difficult or extremely difficult areas.

3.3. Calculation of electricity demand.

Based on Sections 2.1 and 2.2, determine load zones according to socio-economic development targets. For each load zone, determine the following basic parameters:

a) Consumption capacity of typical years in the planning proposal.

b) Electricity demand by planning years.

c) Total demand for capacity and energy in typical years during the planning period. For agricultural loads, consider the special load profile where the maximum capacity utilization time is very short (a few hours a day) to appropriately calculate capacity.

3.4. Comments on the results of electricity demand calculation.

Comments on the ability of local power sources and national power system sources to meet load demands in planning years, and professional, economic-technical recommendations.

Chapter IV. Power Development Scheme.

4.1. Views and design standards for the power development scheme.

Based on the current regulations' requirements for power supply safety, propose views and design standards for the power development scheme. These views and design standards are clearly defined for each voltage level in the planning:

High-voltage transmission system (220, 110kV).

Medium-voltage distribution network.

Low-voltage power network.

4.21. Propose power development options.

Balance power sources and loads for each region and locality corresponding to each planning phase.

Based on analyses, conclusions, and recommendations from Chapters I and II, balance power sources and loads, and propose several power improvement and development options. Then, using expert methods, select three typical options:

a) Option I meets the maximum load for the locality's socio-economic development needs (no investment capital limit, locality has no financial difficulties).

b) Option II meets the maximum load for residential areas and high feasibility industrial zones, projects already approved and financially guaranteed by the State.

c) Option III has limited investment capital.

4.23. Power source and grid development scheme.

a) Develop a power grid improvement and development scheme for the selected options in Section 4.21.

b) Choose technical features of independent power sources, power generation substations, and power lines for each option.

4.4.3 Selection of options.

a) Calculate economic-technical indicators for the grid and power sources for the above options.

- Power loss, voltage, energy in the power grid system, power distribution on the line, etc.

- Economic-technical indicators of power sources.

- Economic, financial, and social indicators.

b) Select the option.

Based on economic-technical indicators and social policies, choose the optimal option for the planning proposal.

Chapter V.Small hydropower and renewable energy planning.

5.1. Current status and potential of small hydropower.

5.2. Evaluation of potential and applicability of renewable energy sources.

Chapter VI. Investment Volume for Construction

6.1. Based on the selected scheme for grid renovation and development in Chapter IV, calculate the volume of new construction and grid renovation, and compute the total investment capital for the project.

6.2. Establish a schedule table for each project component (source substations, independent power sources, distribution substations, medium and low voltage lines) and corresponding financial requirements.

Chapter VII. Economic and Financial Analysis

7.1. Conditions for analysis:

a) Views and methodological approaches to calculation.

b) Conditions and assumptions about data included in the calculations.

7.2. Analysis of calculation results: economic and financial

a) Analysis of the economic and financial efficiency of the chosen investment option

b) Sensitivity analysis

c) Financial flow analysis for the chosen option

7.3. Conclusion of the economic and financial analysis section

Chapter VIII. Conclusions and Recommendations

8.1. Summary of the project content

a) Summary of the main contents of the local power grid planning project.

b) Summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the distribution system, existing issues in management and operation in previous years, and the advantages that the project will bring.

8.2. Recommendations:

a) Compilation of difficulties and obstacles encountered when implementing the planning project.

b) Proposals for mechanisms and policies, organizational solutions to implement the planning project.
