Hanoi (VNA) - The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has undertaken efforts to ensure electricity supply for the dry season.

According to EVN, the consumption of electricity is expected to reach between 505-540 million kWh per day in the second quarter this year, or a total of 28.730 MW, up 13 percent from the same period last year.

In order to ensure sufficient backup for the dry season, the group will also increase the sources of thermo power and enhance the efficiency in regional electricity transmission.

In April, turbine No.1 will be run on trial in the Duyen Hai thermo power plant, in both the Lai Chau and Huoi Quang hydropower plants, a second turbine will be installed.

A number of projects will be put into operation this month, including a 500kV transformer in Pho Noi, a 220kV transformer in Son Tay, and a 220kV cable network connecting Thai Binh – Kim Dong, and Xekaman 1 – Pleiku2.

EVN will also accelerate the implementation of other projects including upgrades to the 500kV transformer in Son La, and the 220kV transformers in My Xuan, Lao Cai, Hoa Khanh and Da Nang.
