The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it and diplomatic agencies of Vietnam in China have urgently worked with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Yunnan province's authorities on the information that China is preparing to release floodwater from its Malutang hydropower dam, which is located in Yunnan province's Wenshan district, and the upstream of the Lo River in Vietnam.

China began discharging water from its upstream hydropower dams into the Lo River as of 2 p.m. on September 11, and Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep reported the discharge rate as relatively low and not expected to significantly affect downstream areas in Vietnam.

Vietnam Electricity (EVN) Group and Germany’s KfW Development Bank on July 26 discussed a loan agreement for Tri An Hydropower Plant Expansion Project, expecting to sign the deal in November.

Since the end of June, the water levels in hydropower reservoirs have been rising and technical problems of a number of thermopower turbines solved, ensuring a basically sufficient power supply in the north, said Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai.

The Electricity Vietnam Group (EVN) on June 22 announced that the power supply will basically meet demand in the northern region from June 23 thanks to increasing water level at hydropower plants’ reservoirs.

Reservoirs of hydropower plants in northern localities on June 12 received an additional water amount 28% higher than that of June 11, which helps lift some of them from the “dead level” - the minimum to ensure power generation.
