It was the first hydroelectric power station in South Vietnam.[4] Electricity produced here supplied the central region of Vietnam but was unable to reach the large industrial centres in Saigon and Bien Hoa, which had to rely on oil for electricity generation.[4] Two large pipes, crossing the road, carrying water from a height of 1,000 metres to Đa Nhim lake, drive the turbines of the hydropower plant.[5]
