Energize 500 kV line circuit 3 before June 30
According to Vietnam Electricity Group, up to now, the 500 kV line project circuit 3 Pho Noi (Hung Yen) - Quang Trach (Quang Binh) has completed site clearance and handover at 100% of pole foundation locations, 93% of anchorage spaces; 7 provinces have not completed handover of the route corridor.
Construction work is being accelerated, completing the casting of 1,162/1,177 pile foundation positions; completing the erection of 398/1,177 column positions, and 222 positions are being erected; completing the pulling of wires for 10/513 anchor intervals, and pulling of wires for 7/513 anchor intervals. Along with that, 667/1,177 steel columns have been supplied and handed over, and 510 columns are being transported to position. Imported equipment and materials such as porcelain, accessories, etc. are expected to arrive in Vietnam in early June 2024. It is expected that the erection of columns will be completed on June 15, the pulling of wires will be completed on June 20, and the line will be inspected and energized at the end of June to put into operation.
After leaders of ministries, branches and localities discussed and proposed tasks and solutions to put the 500kV power transmission line project, circuit 3, Quang Trach - Pho Noi into operation as planned, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that in the first months of 2024, our country's economy is recovering and developing positively. In addition, the demand for raw materials and fuels, including electricity consumption, is also increasing. According to the forecast, electricity demand in 2024 will increase by 9%, but in the first quarter, the demand increased by 3%, at times increasing by 17% compared to the same period.
Currently, the peak hot season is starting, especially in June and July, so the demand for electricity for production, business and consumption is increasing. The completion and operation of the 500 kV transmission line circuit 3 Pho Noi - Quang Trach is of great significance.
Acknowledging the results of the implementation of the construction of the 500 kV line circuit 3, the Prime Minister commended and welcomed the ministries, branches, and localities, especially the leaders, for their efforts, focus, and close and effective coordination in implementing the project; especially highly appreciating the participation and support of the people; the efforts of the Electricity Group and the Power Transmission Corporation and more than 8,000 cadres, workers, and engineers at the construction site with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain", "working through Tet, through holidays", "working without backtracking".
Pointing out 6 lessons learned during the project implementation process, the Prime Minister requested that in the coming time, ministries, branches and localities continue to review and focus highly on the project. In particular, ministries, branches, units and localities, especially the heads, coordinate synchronously and smoothly: focus on promoting the production, transportation and installation of remaining columns; urgently complete the clearance and handover of anchorage areas to the construction unit to organize wire pulling; coordinate to quickly and effectively resolve the import of equipment and materials for the project to ensure smooth customs clearance and timely transportation to the construction site; mobilize all human resources and means, and at the same time provide human resources and equipment for the project...

Assigning Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha to direct and assign specific tasks to each ministry, branch, and locality, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested to rebuild the progress critical path and organize daily and weekly monitoring, control, and supervision of progress, ensuring energization and putting into operation the 500 kV transmission line circuit 3 Pho Noi - Quang Trach before June 30.
Provide enough electricity for production, business and daily life
Regarding the situation and the ability to supply electricity in the upcoming peak months, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnam Electricity Group, the cumulative electricity output in the first 5 months of 2024 is about 124.1 billion kWh, an increase of 12.1% over the same period. In particular, at the end of April 2024, the prolonged hot weather in all 3 regions caused the national electricity consumption to increase to a record high, with the national maximum capacity reaching 47,670 MW, an increase of 13.2%, the daily output reached 987.39 million kWh, 6.87% higher than the same period in 2023.
It is forecasted that the demand for electricity in the coming time will continue to increase due to the demand for electricity for production, business and consumption, especially in the hot season. Therefore, along with continuing to maximize the mobilization of power sources, organizing the transmission of electricity between regions, it is necessary to organize and mobilize the whole population to save electricity and use electricity effectively.
According to the assessment of the leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, this year's weather may be less hot than last year; electricity demand may not increase dramatically, especially the water source of hydroelectric reservoirs may be better, serving electricity generation.
Along with that, sectors and units also proactively prepare fuel supply for electricity production, especially coal and gas. Delegates assessed that the national power system will basically meet enough electricity for socio-economic development and people's daily needs for most of 2024.
Regarding the implementation of the VIII Power Plan, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Prime Minister has approved the Plan to implement the VIII Power Plan. In particular, the Prime Minister has approved the list of renewable energy sources of 46/63 provinces and cities; the remaining 17 provinces and cities have not provided information.
