On that basis, all services of the corporation will be provided on the digital platform and it will offer digital solutions and services to customers.

Do Nguyen Anh - Chairwoman of the Members’ Council at the Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC): Identifying challenges

In 2022, EVNNPC has clearly identified its difficulties in order to come up with specific and concerted solutions. In particular, the corporation has determined the biggest challenge, that is to ensure enough electricity for the northern region, especially during months of hot and extreme weather. It has set up a steering board for ensuring the power supply for the region in the 2021-2025 period, which holds monthly meetings to put forth and implement solutions. Accordingly, EVNNPC is set to focus on speeding up and ensuring the progress of projects on the power grid construction; to proactively capture information from the National Load Dispatch Centre (EVNNLDC) to make a communications plan; and to work with local authorities and major customers to organise production reasonably; among others.

Toward completing 2022 goals, EVNGENCO 2 has implemented a series of works regarding ensuring a normal water level rise on reservoirs and the operation quality of its turbines.

These pilot solutions will soon be replicated in all plants run by EVNGENCO 2.

At the same time, the center will recommend EVN and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to synchronously amend circulars on transmission, distribution, dispatching, and electricity market, among others, to ensure the operation of the electricity system and market when the rate of renewable energy increases. It is necessary to upgrade the system’s IT infrastructure to meet demand in the new situation.

The centre is also preparing its resources, increasing sci-tech applications, and improving its management capacity and human resources, among others./.
