Hydroelectric reservoirs' water levels are lower than annual averages, according to a May 10 report from Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), and 10 are either close to or under the 'dead level'.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has directed the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) to prepare solutions in order to ensure electricity supply in 2020, especially in the dry season.
The Government has mapped out plans to ensure the safety of reservoirs at the Hoa Binh and Son La hydroelectric plants, two of the country’s largest, said Tran Quang Hoai, permanent member of the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control.
