They must not interrupt the supply,except for handling incidents, while having to gear uppersonnel, equipment and supplies to make timely response to any circumstances.
Besides, units of the power sectorwill increase checks to deal with shortcomings of power facilities andcoordinate with local authorities and armed forces to protect the system’s safetyand prevent fires or explosions, the EVN said.
The firm has requested the NationalLoad Dispatch Centre inform non-EVN power generators to stay ready toincrease supply when necessary.
It has also told power corporationsto order their affiliates to ensure service quality and work with local administrations to have a good grasp of the time and locations needing themost stable power supply during this occasion.
The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) is a state-owned enterprise established in 1994, entrusted with the mission of ensuring a sufficient power supply for national socioeconomic growth and to meet customer demand, while continuously improving the quality of services. EVN’s operations range from electricity generation, transmission and distribution to retail business. It is dedicated to becoming a leading power utility in the region.
The group has submitted to the Government its proposal on mechanisms to encourage the development of renewable energy such as wind and solar power along with storage systems.
EVN expects to put into operation around 5,500 MW of electricity from renewables, with 4,000 MW from wind power and 1.500 MW from solar power by 2025, to prevent a shortage of power, especially in northern localities.
The group has also asked the Government for permission to develop offshore wind power in the northern region to increase electricity supply for the región and ensure national power security.
Electricity demand is surging in the context of Vietnam making all-out efforts for socio-economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic is put under control.
൲ According to the power development plan in 2022, EVN can ensure sufficient power supply for the central and southern regions. The northern region may face a shortage at some points of time, particularly during severe heat waves./.
Vietnam Electricity (EVN) said it will make adjustments to the power grid to ensure power supply for daily public energy use in the second quarter - the peak of the dry season, when power generation becomes a serious issue.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), the Vietnam Electricity (EVN), and experts shared the view that power supply will be basically guaranteed this year, but the challenge is that demand is forecast to surge amid the post-pandemic economic recovery.
