From now to the end of 2023, the power supply for production and people’s activities will be basically ensured (Photo: EVN) Speaking at the Government’s regular press briefing on July4, Hai said that total domestically generated and imported electricity in June reached25.32 billion KWh, up 3.4% year on year, pushing the total figure in the firstsix months of this year to 136.09 billion KWh.
However, he said that the power system in July will face manydifficulties, especially in the northern region where a number of heat wavesare forecast and despite the improvement, water levels in hydropower reservoirs are still low.
Following the Government and the Prime Minister’sdirections, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has requested the VietnamElectricity (EVN) to continuously update the operation of the power system andpower market, ensuring power supply in 2023, while actively building plans torespond to difficult situations in the power system, he said.

Hai underlined four major solutions to ensure smoothoperation of the system - providing fuelsto thermal power plants; minimising and promptly fixing problems of the system;properly operating hydropower sources; and strengthen electricity saving andspeeding up power projects.
Basing on calculations and the solutions, he underlined thatfrom now to the end of 2023, the power supply for production and people’s activitieswill be basically ensured after a shortage recorded in May and June due to the hot weather and prolonged droughts.
Regarding the rooftop solar power system, Deputy Minister Haisaid that the Government has directed the Ministry of Industry andTrade and localities to review and adjust the investment to ensure its sustainability.
Under the national power development planning for the 2021-2030 period with avision to 2050, by 2030, the capacity of the rooftop solar power system willincrease by 2,600MW, he noted./.
