About 400 billion VND (18.8 million USD) will be invested in developing electricity distribution networks in the southern province of Dong Nai in 2014.

Director of the Dong Nai Electricity Company Nguyen Ngoc Thanh said that with this investment, the company commits to providing enough power for the locality’s socio-economic development demands with a targeted output of 9.1 billion kWh.

The local sector will also improve the quality of power supply services and strengthen the maintenance of the system to prevent breakdowns.

To use electricity effectively, the provincial People’s Committee recently decided to set up a steering board to manage the power supply.

Accordingly, the board will put forth monthly power supply plans in order to best use the distributed output, save electricity and meet locals’ maximum demand for daily activities and production.

Last year, the company began construction on 21 110kV power grid projects with a total investment of more than 156 billion VND (7.33 million USD), five of which have been put into operation, serving the daily activities and production needs of local people and businesses.

The company’s output of commercial electricity was 8.4 billion kWh in 2013, up 8.63 percent from the previous year.-VNA
