In which, some typical projects have been energized as follows: 500kV - 900MVA transformers, Nghi Son 500kV substation; energizing Dong Ha - Lao Bao 220kV transmission line, completing the whole project; energizing to increase the capacity of Xuan Mai 220kV substation, Son Ha 220kV substation (phase 2), Tuyen Quang 220kV substation, and Son Dong 220kV substation, and so on.
Some goals and tasks in November 2021
In November 2021, the average power consumption of the whole system is expected at 678.8 million kWh/day, the largest load capacity is estimated at 36,877 MW.
Objectives of power system operation in November 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 activities and ensuring power supply for COVID-19 treatment hospitals, medical facilities, concentrated isolation areas.
- Reasonable exploitation of hydropower to ensure safety in operation and strive for the goal of water storage by the end of the year. Hydropower reservoirs in the North need to limit its exploitation to ensure long-term goals, serving the power supply for the whole dry season in 2022.
- High mobilization of coal-fired power plants in the North during peak load cycles to ensure the target of water storage in the Northern hydropower reservoirs.
- Mobilization of gas turbines according to system needs, ensuring system stability, and at the same time complying with the requirements of grid overload protection and voltage quality.
Regarding construction investment: Continuing to implement procedures for arranging loans to be invested in power source and grid projects. In November 2021, a credit contract for AFD loan shall be signed for Expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant project and AFD loan for EVNSPC; negotiating a credit contract with Agribank on a loan to be used for the Expanded Ialy Hydropower Plant project; negotiating a credit contract for Nam Mo - Tuong Duong 220kV transmission line project.
In addition, in November 2021, EVN is to continue to direct the Power Corporations/ Companies to fully prepare human resources and facilities, strengthen the 24/7 response; proactively get ready to respond to natural disasters, floods and storms to ensure the safety of people, electrical equipment, works and ensure the safety of hydropower reservoirs, dams, plants, downstream areas of reservoirs, and so on.
