Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Mạnh Hùng said that the power system is expected to face mounting pressure in 2027, with conditions potentially becoming more challenging in 2028.
Vietnam Electricity (EVN) is stepping up measures to secure power supply for the coming dry season, as rising demand and global uncertainties put pressure on the energy system.
The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting predicts that heat will come earlier this year which might weigh on the electricity supply system, especially of the Northern region, as overall demand for electricity is rising.
The Vietnam Electricity (EVN) announced a significant increase in production for the first six months of 2017, as their total electricity input and output reached 94.9 billion kilowatts, up by 7.23 per cent from the same period in 2016.
