The North reduces up to 1,300 MW

(HNMO) - According to data from the National Power System Control Center (A0), the total load of the power system on June 10 reached 788.3 million kWh. Of which, the North is estimated at about 384.6 million kWh, the Central region is about 73.2 million kWh, and the South is about 330.1 million kWh.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the electricity sector strengthen the operation of power sources.

The peak power capacity of the power system (Pmax) at 3:00 p.m. reached 36,823.6 MW. However, the peak capacity of the North - Central - South regions occurred at different times. Specifically, the peak capacity in the South reached 16,048.5 MW at 3:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the peak capacity in the North reached 18,223.4 MW at 11:00 p.m., and in the Central region reached 3,613.3 MW at 4:30 p.m.

Regarding the structure of power mobilization on June 10, the total output mobilized from hydropower was about 149 million kWh (the North was 59 million kWh); Coal-fired thermal power mobilized 439 million kWh (the North was 262.9 million kWh); Gas turbines mobilized 85.9 million kWh; renewable energy electricity was over 79 million kWh, of which wind power was 37.3 million kWh, the highest capacity at 12:30 reached 2,339.7 MW, grid-connected solar farm power mobilized 42.1 million kWh, the highest capacity at 10:30 reached 5,875 MW. Oil-fired power did not need to be mobilized.

Regarding transitional renewable energy projects, as of June 10, 51 projects with a total capacity of 2,852 MW have submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade for approval of temporary electricity prices; 40 projects with a total capacity of 2,367 MW have signed supplementary contracts; 8 plants are undergoing testing; 14 plants have completed testing; 9 plants have entered commercial operation (COD).

According to the National Power System Control Center, coal fuel sources for production are sufficient. However, due to the need to mobilize large and continuous capacity, some generators still have problems. Of which, long-term problems are not mobilized at about 2,100 MW; short-term problems are about 410 MW.

It is expected that by tomorrow (June 12), Unit 1 of Nghi Son 1 Thermal Power Plant will have resolved the problem. Unit 2 of Thai Binh Thermal Power Plant has successfully started up and connected to the grid at 11:15 p.m. on June 10.

Regarding the hydropower situation in the North on June 10, it was more positive. The water flow to the lakes increased, but the large lakes were still close to the dead water level. Specifically, the water flow (m3/s): Lai Chau reached 276, Son La reached 405, Hoa Binh reached 94, Ban Chat reached 59.3, Tuyen Quang reached 88.7.

The total capacity not mobilized from Son La, Lai Chau, Ban Chat, Huoi Quang, Tuyen Quang, Thac Ba, Hua Na, Ban Ve lakes... only reached about 5,000 MW.

“Although operational management solutions have been implemented, due to difficulties in power sources, the maximum capacity reduction in the North is about 1,300 MW,” the National Power System Dispatch Center informed.

Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnam Electricity Group are continuously directing, urging, and finding all solutions to strengthen the operation of power sources, flexibly operate reservoirs in the context of water shortages in large hydroelectric reservoirs; urging thermal power plants to prioritize handling incidents of generators; ensuring coal and gas supply for power generation; actively supplementing renewable energy sources for the system; strengthening the safe operation of the Central - North transmission system; continuing to implement the Prime Minister's directive on electricity saving.
