DECISION:

Article 1- Issued together with this Decision "Unit Prices for Rural Medium Voltage Power Grid Construction" (Annexes 1 and 2).

Article 2- These unit prices serve as the basis for determining the actual residual value of assets of rural medium voltage power grids handed over as stipulated in Point (2.2) of Circular Jointly Issued by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Finance on the transfer and repayment of capital for rural medium voltage power grids No. 04/1999/TTLT/BCN-BTC dated August 27, 1999.

The price level specified in Annex 1 includes equipment costs, transportation, complete installation, and accessories included in the transformer set, including the transformer base. For Annex 2, the price level includes all necessary costs to complete 1 km of transmission line corresponding to different voltage levels.

Projects with structural configurations different from those specified in Annexes 1 and 2 may be permitted to interpolate to determine unit prices; if there are any issues, the Rural Medium Voltage Power Grid Asset Valuation Council will work with Vietnam Electricity Corporation. In cases where consensus cannot be reached, they shall report to the Ministry of Industry for resolution with the Ministry of Finance.

Article 3- "Unit Prices for Rural Medium Voltage Power Grid Construction" shall be uniformly applied nationwide from February 28, 1999 and earlier.
