Ban Ve Hydropower Company to reach 1 billion kWh of electricity output in 2024
On September 10, Ban Ve Hydropower Company completed the electricity output plan assigned by Power Generation Corporation 1 in 2024 (774 million kWh) and at 2:14 p.m. on October 11, the company reached the milestone of producing 1 billion kWh of electricity, approximately equal to the average electricity output of many years (1,012 million kWh).
To achieve this impressive output, since the last months of 2023, the company has focused on water storage at the end of the flood season, bringing the lake water level to 199.65m in early 2024, ready to serve downstream water supply and generate electricity for the power system in 2024.
The dry season of 2024 (from January 1 to July 19) recorded an average flow to Ban Ve Lake of only 57.35 m3/s (equivalent to a total volume of water of 1 billion m3But Ban Ve Lake has supplied 1.9 billion m3 downstream.3(average 110.78 m)3/s), contributing significantly to ensuring water supply downstream, helping the Winter-Spring and Summer-Autumn crops of Nghe An province to have a bumper crop.
In the first months of the flood season in 2024, the Ban Ve Lake basin received a sudden increase in inflow with the average inflow from July 20 to September 30 being 557.68 m3/s, Ban Ve Hydropower Plant has played an important role in cutting and reducing floods for downstream areas when closely coordinating with functional agencies of Nghe An province to properly implement the Inter-reservoir Operation Procedures on the Ca River Basin and the reservoir regulation orders of the Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Disaster Prevention of Nghe An province.
In 2024, the Electricity industry faced many difficulties in supplying and ensuring electricity for the National Electricity Load. By completing high output milestones, Ban Ve Hydropower Company has ensured a stable power grid and supplied electricity to the Northern load of Vietnam's electricity system.
To achieve the above achievements, in addition to the favorable hydrological situation, it is necessary to mention the role of the leaders and staff of Ban Ve Hydropower Company in excellently completing the management, operation and repair of the plant, helping the plant to have maximum availability, stable and reliable operation. The Company coordinated well with related units in regulating the reservoir, operating the generators in the competitive wholesale electricity market to minimize excess discharge through the spillway, exceeding the target of additional electricity sales revenue assigned by Power Generation Corporation 1.
In the last months of 2024, promoting the achievements, Ban Ve Hydropower Company continues to strive to continue to complete and excellently complete the remaining targets and tasks of the year assigned by Power Generation Corporation 1.
