Hanoi (VNA) – The Electricity Vietnam Group (EVN) onJune 22 announced that the power supply will basically meet demand in thenorthern region from June 23 thanks to increasing water level at hydropowerplants’ reservoirs.
In addition, technical problems at some thermopower plants have been fixed, allowing them to resume their operation.
Drastic directions and measures by the Prime Minister, the Ministryof Industry and Trade, and relevant agencies have helped improve the powersupply in the region that suffered a shortage of power early this month.
However, the EVN warned that as the power supply system in theregion does not have backup capacity, extreme situations may still occur in thefuture.
According to the National Load Dispatch Centre, on June 21, thesystem’s peak capacity continued to increase to over 41,514 MW, and the totalsystem load reached 852.3 million kWh, down 4.3 million kWh compared to theprevious day.
