Illustrative image (Source: VNA)Hoa told the press on June 7 that as of June 6, mostof the major hydroelectric reservoirs in the north, including Lai Chau, Son La,Tuyen Quang, Ban Chat, Hua Na and Thac Ba, had reached the “dead water level”or even below that.
Only the Hoa Binh reservoir can ensure its plant togenerate electricity until June 12-13, he said, adding that once its water level hits the “dead point”, a total of 5,000MW or even up to 7,000MW would belost in the region.
As of June 6, the combined capacity of the hydroelectricplants stood at 3,110MW, only 23.7% of their designed capacity.
Over the past time, thanks to efforts in supplying coalfor thermal power plants, turbines have been running at full capacity, which,however, has caused equipment incidents.
Therefore, the northern thermal power plants generatedonly 11,934MW, making up 76.6% of their designed capacity, as of June 6, Hoanoted.
The accumulative capacity of the northern powersystem reaches only 17,500MW-17,900MW, including 2,500MW-2,700MW from the southernand central regions, as compared with whole northern region’s demand of23,500MW-24,000MW, the official pointed out.
Given this, Ngo Son Hai, Deputy General Director ofthe Vietnam Electricity (EVN), said the Northern Power Corporation and the Hanoi PowerCorporation will allocate electricity to each city and province based on guidelinesof the MoIT, and the localities will outline plans and identify priorities inpower supply.

At the press conference (Photo: VNA)Under the dispatch, the MoIT was asked to promptlyfinalise a PM’s directive on strengthening power saving in the 2023-2025 periodand following years and submit to the PM by June 8. The ministry was alsoordered to complete a PM’s decree on ensuring power supply and the supply ofcoal and gas for electricity production and submit to him by June 15.
Particularly, the EVN was asked to focus on buildingscenarios to respond to difficulties in power supply and rollingout effective power saving measures, especially in June.
The PM also assigned the MoIT to form an inspectionteam to examine the power supply management at the EVN from January 2021 to June1, 2023./.
