In November 2021, power consumption showed growth sign again compared to previous months after the socio-economic gradually recovered into the new normal situation. Power production of the whole system in November 2021 reached 20.71 billion kWh (equivalent to about 690.3 million kWh/day), an increase of 3.9% over the same period in 2020. Accumulated 11 months of 2021 reached 233.67 billion kWh, up 3.6% over the same period in 2020; in which power produced by EVN and Power Generation Corporations (including joint-stock companies) reached 113.48 billion kWh, accounting for 48.56% of the power production of the whole system. The mobilization level and rate of some main types of power sources in the national power system in the past 11 months are as follows:

+ Hydropower reached 72.04 billion kWh, accounting for 30.8% of the total power output of the whole system.

+ Coal-fired thermal power reached 108.32 billion kWh, accounting for 46.4% of the total power production of the whole system.

+ Gas turbines reached 24.36 billion kWh, accounting for 10.4% of the total power production of the whole system.

+ Renewable energy (wind power, solar power, biomass power) reached 26.88 billion kWh, accounting for 11.5% of the total power output of the whole system (in which solar power reached 24.46 billion kWh, wind power reached 2.27 billion kWh).

+ Oil thermal power is insignificantly mobilization, reaching 02 million kWh.

+ Imported power reached 1.34 billion kWh, accounting for 0.6% of the total power production of the whole system.

EVN's commercial power output in November 2021 is estimated at 19.03 billion kWh, up 4.59% compared to November 2020. Accumulated 11 months of 2021 reached 206.59 billion kWh, up 3.92% over the same period in 2020.

Power output in November 2021 reached 15.92 billion kWh. Accumulated 11 months of 2021, transmission power output reached 184.01 billion kWh, down 1.7% over the same period in 2020.

About business and customer service:

Some goals and tasks in December 2021

In December 2021, the average power consumption of the whole system is expected to be 700.5 million kWh/day, the largest load capacity is estimated at 37,071MW.

The power system operation goals in December 2021:

- Continuing to perform well the dual task of ensuring the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic, while ensuring the power production and supply for the country's socio-economic development and people's daily life, at health care facilities, COVID-19 concentrated isolation areas.

- Ensuring safety in the operation of hydropower exploitation, safety against floods and ensuring water supply for downstream, with the goal of water storage at the end of the year.

- High mobilization of coal-fired power plants in the North to ensure the goal of water storage in the Northern hydropower reservoirs.

- Mobilize gas turbines according to system needs, ensuring system stability, constraints against grid overload and voltage quality.

Regarding construction investment: Ensuring the progress of urgent power source projects and power grid works, releasing renewable energy capacity. Continuing to implement arrange loans procedures for power source and grid projects.

In December 2021, the units actively well implemented the Customer Gratitude Month 2021 program with the theme "Accompanying customers to overcome difficulties due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic"; the humanitarian blood donation program "The 7th EVN Pink Week - 2021" with the message "Ten thousand hearts - One heart";
