EVN Chairman Dang Hoang An said that he will coordinate and support NSMO to absolutely ensure safe, stable and reliable operation of the power system; at the same time, continue to research and make recommendations to competent authorities to implement feasible solutions, in accordance with the law, to support NSMO to operate stably and continuously after its establishment.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh - Chairman of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises - said that the separation of A0 and the establishment of a company, transferred to the Ministry of Industry and Trade is not only a change in organizational structure, but also a big step forward and maturity of the Vietnamese electricity industry.

"This is an important event, not only in the energy sector but also contributing to the sustainable development of the economy," he said.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien emphasized that the safe, stable and reliable dispatch and operation of the national electricity system and market is a very important task, under the authority of state management agencies to ensure objectivity, impartiality and fairness among affected subjects.

Therefore, the Government and the Prime Minister have decided to separate A0 from EVN and establish NSMO with 100% state capital to operate independently from EVN. At the same time, the transfer of the right to represent state capital ownership to the Ministry of Industry and Trade for management by the Ministry of Industry and Trade has full functions, apparatus and specialized human resources to effectively carry out this task.

"This is also an objective and inevitable requirement of the process of operating the national power system and the competitive electricity market according to the market mechanism as directed by the Prime Minister, thereby contributing to ensuring energy security, serving socio-economic development and people's lives," Minister Nguyen Hong Dien affirmed.

According to Minister Dien, although A0 (now NSMO) has been separated from EVN, both are state-owned enterprises, assigned the task of ensuring national electricity security under the state management of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises.
