EVN is ready to ensure electricity for the April 30th holiday

Assign specific tasks to each contact

According to the National Electricity System and Market Operation Company (NSMO), on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, heat waves may appear in the South, but the level is not severe; in the North and Central regions, heat waves are not forecasted to appear.

The average national load during the holidays is expected to be around 65-75% of the average consumption during working days.

The principles of planning the power system operation on April 30 and May 1 are strictly, scientifically and flexibly ensured, with reasonable arrangements for power source operation to ensure safety and reliability under normal conditions and flexible conversion in abnormal situations, balancing power sources in all regions.

In major event areas such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) are taking place, the Electricity sector has developed a priority power supply plan, on duty 24/7, closely coordinating with localities, the army and the police to ensure absolute safety.

Mr. Ngo Son Hai, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) said that to prepare for this important event, implementing the direction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade , EVN has asked units to prepare plans and solutions to ensure power supply for the April 30 - May 1 holidays.

"The Group has assigned specific tasks to each power generation, transmission and distribution corporation. Power generation companies are required to fully prepare fuel, materials and spare equipment, ensuring the highest availability for generators, especially those with the ability to adjust the idle, participating in voltage and frequency control according to the AGC mechanism," said Mr. Ngo Son Hai.

Accordingly, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) has established steering committees of the Corporation and its units; established plans to ensure electricity and coordinated with dispatching units to ensure operations; inspected key route sections, thoroughly handled risks of corridor violations, and ensured the highest availability for power lines and transformer stations.

Power corporations and power companies have been assigned to coordinate with the authorities to review event venues, plan for 24/7 power supply, and prevent power outages in key areas such as Party and State headquarters, festival venues, and cultural and artistic activities.

EVN leaders also said that they will continue to review and have specific instructions to ensure stable and absolutely safe power supply for the April 30 - May 1 holidays. At the same time, they requested that units proactively coordinate with the dispatching unit in performing their duties.

Prepare thoroughly, rehearse carefully

EVN Deputy General Director Ngo Son Hai also inspected some key power supply points serving the festival in Ho Chi Minh City and worked with the Ho Chi Minh City Power System Control Center and Saigon Electricity Company.

Through actual inspection, it is shown that Ho Chi Minh City Power Corporation (EVNHCMC) has fully prepared 220 kV power supplies, power supplies from separate 110 kV stations, medium voltage grid with 3-4 power supplies, in addition to diesel power and backup UPS.

Appreciating the preparation of power supply for the April 30th holiday of EVNHCMC in general and Saigon Electricity Company in particular, EVN leaders requested EVNHCMC to thoroughly inform all relevant affiliated units, absolutely not to let any mistakes occur in the process of implementing to ensure power supply during the holiday.

From experience in providing electricity for major political events of the country, EVN leaders also require that preparations must be very careful, rehearsals and inspections must be thoroughly reviewed and cannot be subjective.

Regarding power supply for events, EVN requires units to coordinate closely with event organizers, especially the event's power management department, to avoid overlapping tasks and to handle incidents in the safest way possible.
