Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) will use all its resources to ensuresufficient supplies during the dry season, said National Load DispatchCentre Vice Director Vu Xuan Khu.
Power loads during the dryseason's peak – from April to June – were expected to reach 460-465million kWh per day on average, about 9.2 to 10.5 per cent higher thanthe same period last year.
The country is expected to consume13.42 billion kWh in April and more than 41 billion kWh in the secondquarter. The country used 35.8 billion kWh in the last three months.
Khusaid EVN would have to mobilise at least 150 million kWh of coal-firedpower and gas turbine power each day to ensure supplies lasted.
Nineteenreservoirs at hydropower plants across the country including Quang Tri,A Vuong, Song Bung 4 and Song Tranh in the central region and those onthe Serepoc River in the Central Highlands region will continueoperating to ensure enough water for agricultural production and powergeneration.
The prolonged Central Highlands drought has loweredhydropower production there, but EVN said it would have enough water togenerate power through the entire dry season.
Khusaid EVN was taking drastic measures to complete key power projects bythe end of the month. They include a 500kV line connecting the nationalgrid with Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant, 220kv line Thuong Tin – KimDong and Mao Khe-Hai Duong 2 Thermal Plant.
In the firstquarter, EVN got the Prime Minister's approval to solve bottlenecks atother key power projects. EVN took over projects to expand Duyen Hai 3Thermal Plant and Vinh Tan 4 Power Plant. It was also assigned toprepare funding and investment procedures to develop O Mon 3 ThermalPower Plant.-VNA
