Along with that, 667/1,177 steel columns have been supplied and delivered, and 510 columns are being transported into position. Imported equipment and materials such as porcelain, accessories, etc. are on the way, expected to arrive in the country in early June 2024.
The pole erection is expected to be completed on June 15, the wire pulling will be completed on June 20, and the line will be accepted, energized and put into operation at the end of June.
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, the Prime Minister 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, also increased. According to the forecast, electricity demand in 2024 increased 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 500kV transmission line circuit 3 Pho Noi - Quang Trach is of great significance.
The meeting was held online.
Acknowledging the results of the construction of the 500kV 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.
The Prime Minister especially appreciated 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 and rain", "working through Tet and 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 which, ministries, branches, units, localities, especially the leaders 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 for construction; mobilize all human resources and means, and at the same time provide human resources and equipment for the project...
The Prime Minister spoke at the meeting.
The Prime Minister directed ministries, branches, localities, units, cadres, engineers, workers and laborers to make more efforts and be more determined, according to their functions, tasks and powers, to overcome difficulties and challenges, with the spirit of "overcoming the sun and rain", "working on holidays", "eating quickly and sleeping urgently", "working on the table, not backtracking" to promote project construction to ensure progress, improve quality, ensure safety and environmental sanitation.
The Government leader noted the need to ensure the re-employment and rights of relevant entities; and to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of people where the power line passes.
Assigning Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha to direct and assign specific tasks to each ministry, branch, and locality, the Prime Minister 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 500kV transmission line circuit 3 Pho Noi - Quang Trach before June 30.
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 entire population to save electricity and use electricity effectively.
The meeting was held directly between the Government headquarters and the People's Committee headquarters of the provinces where the 500kV circuit 3 line passes through.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment assessed that 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.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade and provinces and cities are actively building a list of renewable energy projects; handling issues related to projects that have been constructed but overlap with planning, projects mentioned in inspection conclusions; issues related to connection plans for renewable energy projects, projects using residual heat, blast furnace gas, by-products of technological lines in industrial facilities, etc.
Representatives of ministries, branches and localities proposed to adjust and supplement the conversion of a number of coal power projects; have mechanisms and supplement the planning of new energy projects to effectively implement the 8th Power Plan...
Concluding this content, recalling the electricity consumption demand in the past and forecasting the electricity consumption demand in the coming time, especially during peak periods, the Prime Minister said that the national power system has basically met and will meet enough electricity for socio-economic development and people's daily needs.
However, ministries, branches, localities and units still have to review and grasp the situation, and have plans ready to respond to possible situations.
Accordingly, the Prime Minister requested to continue diversifying electricity sources; proactively preparing fuel supply for electricity production, especially coal and gas, in which domestic coal should be used to the maximum to ensure proactive coal supply for electricity, save foreign currency and create jobs domestically, while at the same time controlling well, fighting negativity, especially fighting illegal coal imports and mining.
In addition, store water in hydroelectric reservoirs, coordinate water harmoniously and reasonably to serve electricity production and agricultural production, and flood prevention; urgently complete and issue decrees to maximize the mobilization of wind power, solar power, and self-produced and self-consumed electricity sources, and directly buy and sell electricity, in the spirit of harmonious benefits, shared risks, and fighting negativity, corruption, and group interests.
The Prime Minister requested to continue diversifying electricity sources; proactively preparing fuel supply for electricity production, especially coal and gas.
