Direct relevant units to closely coordinate with the National Electricity System and Market Operation Company (NSMO) in the construction of the Hoa Binh Hydropower Expansion Project and the construction of the embankment of Muong Te town, Lai Chau, to minimize the impact on the available capacity of the power system.
National Energy Industry Group (PVN)
Direct the Vietnam Oil and Gas Power Corporation to strengthen the direction, management and maintenance of generators, promptly fix generator problems, and ensure safe and continuous operation.
Direct affiliated units to closely coordinate with EVN/NSMO during the testing process, speeding up the progress of putting Nhon Trach 3 and 4 power plants into commercial operation (COD).
Actively coordinate closely with gas mine investors, power plant investors and Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) in developing and implementing effective solutions to ensure adequate and timely supply of fuel (gas, oil) for electricity production activities.
Investors of power plants
Continue to promptly and proactively fix technical problems and defects of generators to ensure stable operation and compliance with NSMO dispatch orders to meet the needs of the power system.
Strengthen the monitoring and supervision of the plant's equipment operation status, proactively conduct periodic inspections, promptly detect and thoroughly correct defects, ensure adequate spare materials to improve reliability, enhance operational efficiency and power generation capacity of generators, and absolutely ensure that no incidents occur due to subjective causes.
Strictly implement approved maintenance and repair plans, minimize prolonged adjustments and unplanned repairs during the dry season that affect power supply security.
Functional units under the Ministry
Electricity Department
Direct NSMO to proactively develop and implement the National Power Supply and Operation Plan for the remaining months of 2025 with the goal of ensuring power supply, ensuring supply backup, and at the same time preparing backup plans to effectively control and respond to possible extreme operating scenarios.
Focus on urging power plants that are experiencing problems or are undergoing prolonged repairs to promptly fix defects to put the problem generators back into operation as soon as possible; urge the progress of putting new power plants such as S1 Vung Ang 2, Nhon Trach 3, 4 into commercial operation.
Department of Oil, Gas and Coal
Regularly review and comprehensively assess the fuel supply situation for thermal power plants; strengthen inspection and supervision and proactively implement solutions to absolutely prevent shortages of primary fuel (coal, gas, oil) for electricity production at thermal power plants.
Direct PVN, Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV) and Dong Bac Corporation to ensure adequate, timely and continuous supply of fuel in accordance with the terms of the signed contract or commitment; proactively coordinate closely with relevant units to develop plans and accurately forecast fuel usage and supply to ensure energy security and fully and stably meet the country's electricity production requirements.
Department of Industrial Safety and Environment
Direct and inspect owners of reservoirs and hydroelectric dams to operate in compliance with reservoir operation procedures, coordinate with localities to regulate hydroelectric reservoirs to meet the goal of ensuring electricity supply and water supply downstream.
Direct EVN, TKV, PVN and power units to ensure the highest safety in production to contribute to ensuring electricity supply.
