Attending the meeting were Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hoang Long; representatives of the Ministry of Public Security, leaders of the People's Committees (PCs) and Departments of Industry and Trade of the provinces: Dong Nai, Thanh Hoa, Quang Nam, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc; Leaders of Vietnam Electricity Group and related units; Leaders of functional units under the Ministry (Electricity and Renewable Energy Department, Electricity Regulatory Authority, Office of the State Steering Committee for important national programs, works and projects, key energy sector projects).
Speaking at the meeting, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien said that according to the National Power Development Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050 (Power Plan VIII), by 2030, the total power capacity must be nearly twice the current system capacity. However, it is forecasted that some large power source projects according to the plan will be behind schedule, especially gas-fired power projects. On the other hand, if implemented according to Power Plan VIII, gas-fired power will account for a large proportion of the total power output by 2030, while the cost of gas-fired power is still quite high, leading to the cost of electricity in 2030 possibly increasing very quickly compared to present.
In the above situation, to ensure national energy security, fully and continuously meet the demand for electricity for socio-economic development and people's lives, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed and received the Prime Minister's approval to review and adjust the Power Plan VIII, including research on adjusting the power source structure, ensuring rationality and feasibility according to the general development trend of the world. In addition, increasing investment and accelerating the completion of transmission projects, especially inter-regional transmission projects and large-capacity transmission projects to release the capacity of power plants is very urgent, contributing to improving the initiative in supplying electricity to the country.
At the meeting, after listening to Mr. Pham Hong Phuong - Deputy General Director of EVN report on the implementation status, as well as difficulties, obstacles and proposed solutions to promote the progress of the Lao electricity import grid projects, the Nhon Trach 3&4 Thermal Power Plant synchronization project and the Lao Cai-Vinh Yen 500kV transmission line project, there were 14 comments from representatives of ministries, branches, localities, EVNNPT and relevant functional units of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the implementation status of electricity projects in localities and together with investors, discussed and proposed solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, with the highest determination to ensure the progress of approved projects.
Opinions of representatives of ministries, branches, localities, EVNNPT and relevant functional units of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on the implementation of power projects in localities and with investors to discuss and propose solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, with the highest determination to ensure the progress of approved projects.
Concluding the conference, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Deputy Head of the Steering Committee, pointed out the significance and importance of the three above-mentioned power grid projects, contributing to ensuring sufficient electricity supply for socio-economic development and people's lives; at the same time, highly appreciated the efforts of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) and relevant ministries, branches and localities in urgently implementing the projects; focusing on removing difficulties and obstacles arising and achieving encouraging results: Power grid projects importing electricity from Laos have basically resolved difficulties and obstacles regarding land; the synchronous power grid project to release capacity of Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 Thermal Power Plant projects has had positive changes in the approval, planning supplementation and site clearance work. However, besides the achieved results, many tasks have not yet reached the progress required by the Government, Prime Minister and Steering Committee.
