The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) selected Tuatara to organize the  Vietnam Power Transmission Modernization Reverse Trade Mission (RTM) to familiarize representatives from the Vietnam Electricity National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT with advanced U.S. technologies, best practices in transmission modernization as well as live line maintenance and repair.

 

The program examined various U.S. power transmission technologies, which will help modernize and improve the overall efficiency of Vietnam's transmission infrastructure as the country rapidly expands its electricity generation capabilities.   The delegates traveled to Washington, DC; Portland, OR and San Francisco, CA to meet with U.S. technology providers, utilities and public sector organizations.

​

The RTM targetted EVNNPT's upcoming procurement and
investment plans, with a specific focus on U.S. providers' ability to deliver new technologies, upgrade old equipment, and assist with the maintenance and operation of existing infrastructure.
