Electricity output rises 7.3%
Monday, August 14,2017AsemconnectVietnam - Viet Nam’s power output in the first seven months of the year reached 112.6 billion kWh, a 7.3 per cent year-on-year rise, said the Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN).
EVN on Friday released a report on its operations in the seven month period, saying that commercial electricity production increased 8.55 per cent year-on-year to 98.1 billion kWh, with domestic supply increasing by 8.84 per cent over last year.
In July alone, commercial electricity production hit 15.1 billion kWh.
The group last month ensured power supply for the country’s demand and also worked with the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in operating big reservoirs in the northern region and in flood discharge work at hydropower plants in Son La, Hoa Binh and Tuyen Quang provinces.
EVN has been active in tackling the aftermath of recent storms to provide power for affected localities including Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Quang Tri.
Power transmission from the north to the south was estimated at 15kWh, while the EVN brought two turbines into operation and connected them to the national power grid in July with total capacity of 675MW including expanded Thac Mo Hydropower (75MW) and Vinh Tan 4 Thermopower (600MW). The group has brought seven turbines into operation with total capacity of 1,235MW so far this year.
EVN forecast that power consumption this month could reach 573kWh a day.
The group plans to pilot turbine 1 of the Thai Binh Thermopower Plant and to bring Trung Son and Thac Mo hydropower plants into operation this month.
