Vietnam Electricity Development Corporation: Ensuring stable power supply during the holidays of April 30 and May 1

Vietnam Power Development Joint Stock Company is the managing unit of Khe Bo Hydropower Plant - located in Tuong Duong District (Nghe An). On the occasion of April 30 and May 1 this year, with the spirit of being ready early and proactive in all situations, from the beginning of April, VNPD directed its member plants, including Khe Bo Hydropower Plant (Nghe An), Bac Binh Hydropower Plant (Binh Thuan) to develop detailed operating plans for each unit and each spillway.

Inspection and maintenance of equipment, metering systems, transformer stations, etc. are carried out comprehensively and thoroughly to promptly detect and handle potential risks, ensuring that the system operates in the most optimal state.

To increase readiness, 100% of the operational teams were mobilized, operating 24/7 throughout the holiday. At the same time, rapid response teams at the factories were also established with the task of promptly handling any unusual situations, minimizing the risk of power interruption. Coordination with the National Power System Control Center (NSMO), Power Transmission Companies and local units was closely carried out to unify the optimal operating mode, ensuring that the power flow is always smooth, safe and stable in all conditions.

Not only focusing on power generation, VNPD also pays special attention to dam safety and operational safety. Flood and storm prevention procedures, disaster response plans, and reservoir water level regulation plans are constantly updated and closely follow the actual situation. Simulation drills are also held periodically, helping staff to be proactive in all situations, not being passive in the face of unusual developments of nature or the system.

The sources of materials, fuel and spare equipment at the factories are also carefully reviewed to ensure they are ready to meet the requirements of continuous and safe operation.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - General Director of Vietnam Electricity Development Joint Stock Company said: The general spirit of the whole company has been clearly defined during the peak festival season that the electricity must not only be bright, but also stable. All operating scenarios are carefully prepared with the highest proactive mindset, not allowing any interruptions, even the smallest ones, to occur.

Mr. Tuan also emphasized that the holiday is a time for everyone to gather and rest, but for the officers and employees of VNPD, this is a time to demonstrate their bravery and responsibility, ready to be on duty day and night, putting aside personal joy to keep the electricity flow peaceful and continuous. This is not only a professional task, but also the culture of VNPD, a sacred mission of the people in the electricity industry. Vietnam Electricity Development Joint Stock Company is determined to successfully complete the task of ensuring power supply during the April 30 - May 1 holidays, contributing to lighting up the moments of reunion, gathering, and happiness across the country.
