Up to 1,499 out of 1,678 medium-voltage power lines affected by Typhoon Yagi had been restored to operation as of September 13 morning, said state-run Vietnam Electricity (EVN).

VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has requested that relevant ministries, sectors and localities draw up plans to ensure a sufficient supply of power for business production and people’s daily use this year, especially during the peak season in summer.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has demanded power supply be guaranteed for production and business activities as well as people’s daily life during the rest of 2023 and next year.

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.

VOV.VN - The Prime Minister has requested a thorough inspection of power supply following news of periodical power cuts in many localities across the country that have thrown business production and people’s daily life into chaos.

VOV.VN - Production businesses and people are likely to suffer from more power cuts amid the northern and central regions set to endure more scorching heat waves over the summer.

Vietnam’s energy transition is facing challenges, especially as the transition is expected to ensure energy security, power supply, and reasonable costs.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung on January 12 lauded the Vietnam Electricity (EVN) for its efforts in ensuring electricity supply for socio-economic development, as well as daily activities.

VOV.VN - The local authorities and residents of Da Nang were swift to carry out measures aimed at overcoming the consequences of typhoon Molave, the ninth storm to hit this year, as well as stabilising production and ensure that life returns to normal as soon as possible in the central city.
