Ialy Hydropower Plant & Ialy Reservoir

About this location

Ialy Hydropower Plant and Ialy Reservoir - Energy Infrastructure Amidst the Central Highlands Landscape Located on the Sê San river system across Gia Lai province and the border area of Kon Tum province prior to administrative restructuring, the Ialy Hydropower Plant has an installed capacity of 720 MW across 4 units, with the Ialy Expansion project adding another 360 MW across 2 units. This is one of the large-scale hydroelectric projects in the Central Highlands region. The site is closely linked to the development of the national energy grid and the harnessing of hydroelectric potential on the Sê San River. The setting encompasses the dam structure, powerhouse, reservoir waters, and surrounding hilly terrain. The combination of large-scale industrial infrastructure and expansive water bodies provides ideal conditions for panoramic, wide-angle, aerial, and establishing shots that emphasize the scale and interplay between engineering and nature. This location is well-suited for documentaries on energy, industry, and economic development; travel and exploration films featuring the Central Highlands landscape; thematic reports; and science-technology promotional projects.
