Speaking at the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh highly appreciated EVN's groundbreaking of the 500kV line 3 project from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen).

According to the Prime Minister, the current difficulties of the electricity industry are more incidental and situational than systemic.

In particular, EVN must learn from the incident in 2023, and not let the most incidents occur during the peak of the hot season. Strive to complete the 500 kV line 3 from Quang Trach - Pho Noi by June 2024 at the latest. At the same time, restructure the group, restructuring both finance, assets and human resources. Organize the implementation of the contents of business arrangement and restructuring according to the EVN restructuring project for the period 2021 - 2025, including the model of the National Power System Dispatch Center (A0).
The Prime Minister also gave his opinion on the proposals to amend Decision 24/QD-TTg on the mechanism for adjusting the average retail electricity price and Decision 28/QD-TTg on the structure of the retail electricity price list.
