The Prime Minister highly appreciated TKV for increasing coal production to supply thermal power plants.

On June 11, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh inspected the electricity production and supply situation in Quang Ninh; the delegation included Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien; Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Dang Quoc Khanh; Secretary of Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Xuan Ky and representatives of leaders of TKV and Vietnam Electricity (EVN)...

According to reports from Quang Ninh province, EVN and TKV, in May and early June, the intense heat increased the demand for household electricity, with electricity consumption increasing by 17% compared to the same period in 2022. Meanwhile, some main power supply sources for the North were mobilized at low levels, and little rainfall caused serious water shortages in hydroelectric reservoirs. Accordingly, EVN had to implement a number of solutions to reduce electricity consumption by rotating power cuts, promoting propaganda on energy-saving operations, etc.
