Mr. Dinh Quoc Lam - Chairman of the Board of Management and Mr. Le Van Danh - General Director of EVNGENCO 3 presided over the Conference
On behalf of EVNGENCO 3's Board of Directors, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong - Deputy General Director presented the report on production, business, construction and investment operations in 2020 of the Corporation. In 2020, the EVNGENCO 3's electricity output is 33,254 billion kWh, of which, dependent accounting units are 31,103 billion kWh, reaching 100.1% of the plan. During the year, some units have to reduce the capacity and stop the backup production for a long time due to the insufficient gas supply in the 1st quarter of 2020, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and serious storms and floods in October and November 2020, which make the electricity production demand of the entire system lower than the 2020 Plan and the low mobilization of thermal power sources due to strong development of renewable energy sources, especially the solar power. The hydrological situation is favorable in the last months of 2020 (from August onwards), water flows to reservoirs are also higher than the same period in 2019 and the average level of many years; therefore, hydropower plants of the Corporation are highly mobilized and most of them achieved the Plan.
In response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation has promptly implemented prevention measures such as concentrated camping plan, online meetings and remote working. As a result, there is no case of infection in the Corporation, contributing to the completion of tasks of ensuring national energy security.
Despite facing many disadvantages, power plants of EVNGENCO 3 have achieved important power output milestones. On November 7th, 2020, Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company held a program to celebrate the successful completion of the entire Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant Project and reached the milestone of 40 billion kWh of electricity output. Previously, on November 2nd, 2020, Phu My Thermal Power Company generated the 300th billion kWh of electricity output to the National Grid and as the first generator in Vietnam to achieve this great milestone.
Power plants of EVNGENCO 3 have carried out 21 major repair projects and the total implementation duration is 306 days, 50 days shortened compared to the Plan. To guarantee that plant units are repaired and maintained according to the Plan with reliable operation and careful preparation for the power generation in 2021, in the situation that technical experts of gas turbine manufacturers cannot come to Vietnam due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EPS Company and Phu My Thermal Power Company actively coordinated with each other to perform major repairs without direct supports from experts at the site.
The Corporation continues to promote the performance of the Thuong Kon Tum Hydropower Project to overcome difficulties and reach important progress milestones, currently water is pumped into the tunnel with more than 15km long for testing, and expected to be completed in January 2021, power generator No. 1 and No. 2 are also expected to come into operation in February 2021. The installation and putting into operation of the Rooftop Solar Power System, Phase 1 (total capacity of 2.96 MWp) is expected to be completed at Phu My Thermal Power Company, Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company, EPS Company, and Buon Kuop Hydropower Company.
For Long Son Power Complex Project, Phase 1 (scale of 1,200 - 1,500 MW) as approved by the Prime Minister to add to the adjusted Power Planning VII on April 23rd, 2020, EVNGENCO 3 and other partners in the Joint Venture continue to implement investment preparation works. On November 22nd, 2020, within the framework of the visit to Vietnam to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Mr. Robert C. O'Brien, U.S.A National Security Advisor, Ms. Kimberly Reed, Chairman of Export- Import Bank of the United States and Daniel J. Kritenbrink, U.S.A Ambassador to Vietnam witnessed the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of LNG Long Son Power Center Project, Phase 1 (1,200 - 1,500 MW) by and between representatives of the Investor Group for the Project Development (including EVNGENCO 3, PECC2, PACIFIC, TTC, General Electric, Mitsubishi Corporation).
The environmental protection at power plants continues to be guaranteed and controlled effectively, and results of periodic observation of exhaust gases, wastewater, cooling water and surrounding environment are within the permissible limits of the current standards. All parameters of online environmental monitoring systems at the Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant, Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant, and Ninh Binh Thermal Power Joint Stock Company are transmitted directly to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of the Province and have completed and put into operation electrical information boards which display all observation parameters of the environmental conditions, cooling water etc. in front of the gate of the Company for convenient monitoring.
The ash and slag management continues to be controlled efficiently. Ash and slag of Mong Duong 1 Thermal Power Plant and Ninh Binh Thermal Power Plants are completely consumed. The quantity of ash consumed by the Vinh Tan 2 Thermal Power Plant has been continuously improved, and the accumulated consumption in 2020 reached about 60% of the quantity. In particular, right after the license is issued, since November 12th, 2020, Vinh Tan Thermal Power Company has exported the first ash vessels through oil import ports for consumption.
The year 2020 is also an outstanding milestone of EVNGENCO 3 in terms of social security works. Under impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, saline intrusion and droughts in the Southwestern Region, storms and floods in the Central Region, and response to the Prime Minister's appeal, the Corporation has carried out many practical and timely activities such as: donating to social and charitable activities, visiting and giving gifts to disadvantaged families, orphans and people with disabilities, constructing houses of love and gratitude, implementing youth works for the community (the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and support program including donating negative pressure rooms, medical protective equipment; giving three water filtration systems and many tanks for drought and saline intrusion areas in the Southwestern Region; the program “Towards the Central region”: supporting and giving gifts, repairing electrical lines, constructing floating houses in Quang Binh Province, donating 80 computers and learning tools to schools in Gia Lai and Kon Tum provinces etc); the “Happy Home” Program: constructing houses for poor families in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh Thuan, and Quang Ninh provinces; installing street lighting systems in Hamlet 7, Vinh Tan Commune, Tuy Phong District, Binh Thuan Province, donating medicine cabinets and repairing power lines for policy beneficiaries, war invalids, sick soldiers, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers; organizing humanitarian blood donation program, the 6th EVN Pink Week of 2020; the Gratitude Month for contribution to study promotion funds, funds for the poor, scholarships and supporting other community activities in the locality. The total cost for social security activities in 2020 of the Corporation is more than 7.65 billion VND.
