With the determination to contribute greatly to the double-digit economic growth of Quang Ninh province, right from the first months and quarters of 2025, many enterprises in the Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group (TKV) have enthusiastically competed in production and business. This important step helps TKV units stabilize production, striving to successfully complete production and business tasks in 2025.
Maximize human resource mobilization for production
Cam Pha Port and Logistics Company is the unit assigned by TKV to be the focal point for coal consumption of the Group. In 2025, the Group assigned the unit to consume 50 million tons of coal. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company coordinated with production units to arrange enough goods, striving to consume over 12.5 million tons. To achieve the above goal, the Company promoted the emulation movement in labor production, overcame difficulties, and completed the assigned plan targets right from the first days and months of the new year. From January 31 (the 3rd day of Tet), the Company organized coal delivery and unloading of imported coal at Hon Net Port; on February 1 (the 4th day of Tet), the unit organized pouring tons of coal at the ports.
Mr. Cao Van Chuan, Deputy Director of Cam Pha Port and Logistics Company, said: Right from the first days and months of 2025, at construction sites, workshops, coal pouring ports... the atmosphere of labor competition in production took place very excitingly. Units are highly determined to complete the production and business tasks of each shift, each day, each month set by units and companies. Right from the first day of the new year, the Company mobilized nearly 100% of its staff at production lines to serve the management of imported and consumed coal. This is the year that the unit mobilized human resources to serve production on the first day of operation, ensuring the highest number of staff in the past 5 years. The Company is closely following the production management plan assigned by TKV to organize and manage consumption work; coordinating with coal production and screening units to prepare well the goods and coal types to ensure sufficient supply of coal to the market.
Entering 2024, Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company encountered many difficulties in production, but with great direction and support from the Group, the Company made efforts to implement the production and business plan, mining coal reached 2.350 million tons; consuming more than 2.59 million tons; average salary reached 13.9 million VND/person/month. During the Lunar New Year 2025, the Company took care of salary and Tet bonus regimes thoughtfully for employees; visited and gave gifts to families of policy beneficiaries, workers with serious work accidents, families of workers with difficult working conditions... In 2025, the Company planned to mine 2.5 million tons of coal; excavate 44 million m³ of earth and rock; consume 2.573 million tons of coal...
In the first quarter of 2025, right after the Lunar New Year holidays, from February 1 (the 4th day of the Lunar New Year), the Company resumed production. From the first day of operation, the unit mobilized nearly 90% of its workforce to serve production. With highly mobilized human resources and equipment, the coordination between units and workshops was carried out smoothly, helping the average coal output reach over 8,500 tons/day. Along with promoting coal production, the Company focused on dredging moong mud, expected to be completed before March 15, 2025 with a volume of over 1.3 million m³ to promote deep mining.
By the end of January 2025, Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company had exploited 160,000 tons of coal and consumed 145,000 tons. With the attention and direction of the Group, along with the efforts of workers and staff, Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company strives to excavate 11 million m3 of earth and rock in the first quarter of 2025; mine over 550,000 tons of coal; consume 650,000 tons of coal, completing 25% of the annual plan and is expected to reach over 60% of the annual plan in the first 6 months.
According to the leader of Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company, the unit is currently proactively focusing on boosting production; strengthening basic technical management, implementing compensation for site clearance, expanding floors and rafts, ensuring production area for 2025 and the following years. During the production process, it is necessary to pay special attention to safety, environment, mine drainage, storm prevention; increase mobilization of human resources and equipment, improve loading and transport capacity, especially in the dry season to boost coal output; review the capacity of warehouses, ensure the quality and types of coal to meet consumption.
Along with the competitive spirit of labor and production at Cam Pha Port and Logistics Company, Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company, from February 1 to February 3 (the 4th to 6th day of Tet), all TKV units simultaneously organized the spring opening ceremony to resume normal production. During the first working days of the year, the units mobilized nearly 90% of their workforce to serve production, increasing coal output to meet the market demand.
Priority is given to ensuring coal for electricity.
As one of the three pillars ensuring national energy security, TKV plays an important role in the country's development. For Quang Ninh province, the coal industry contributes greatly to the province's GRDP. As one of the leading economic sectors, the stability and production and business of TKV strive to contribute greatly to the double-digit growth of Quang Ninh province this year. It is known that in 2025, TKV aims to pay the budget 25,500 billion VND; consume 50 million tons of coal, export 2 million tons and produce 36.85 million tons of clean coal and the imported coal output is expected to reach 13.2 million tons; the power generation output reaches at least 10.07 billion kWh. TKV's determination this year is to strive to successfully complete the production and business plan and provide enough coal for power production in the coming time. To meet the market's demand for coal, especially coal for electricity, from the first days and months of 2025, TKV units have boosted coal production and consumption.
According to TKV, since the beginning of the year, coal mining units have been focusing on producing raw coal at the highest level to increase coal output, especially the open-pit units of Cao Son, Deo Nai - Coc Sau. In addition, units with favorable conditions are given priority to increase maximum output to meet coal demand for electricity, so that no customer who has signed a contract with TKV lacks coal for production.
TKV assessed that the actual demand for coal in the first months of the year is showing an upward trend. It is forecasted that in 2025, rainfall will be lower than in 2024, so the demand for coal for power plants will also increase, especially in the dry months (first half of the year). It is expected that coal for electricity will be 42 million tons, accounting for 84% of the total coal consumption for the whole year and an increase of about 2.1 million tons compared to 2024. Increasing coal production to meet the needs of the economy, especially for electricity production, is an urgent requirement that the Group pays special attention to.
To meet the economy's coal demand, especially for power generation in 2025, TKV leaders requested coal production and trading units to increase investment, operate mining and transportation equipment lines to achieve optimal productivity, synchronously deploy technical and technological solutions, and at the same time recruit and retain technical workers, underground coal mining... In 2024, the capital investment in basic construction for the coal industry alone is 7,548 billion VND. It is expected that in 2025, TKV will invest more than 8,000 billion VND in the coal industry. The proposed solutions are to increase domestic coal production, ensuring both volume and quality according to plan, especially maximizing clean coal recovery to increase consumption and blending sources. At the same time, be proactive in importing coal in the direction of diversifying markets, but must ensure quality and suitability to the needs of use and blending. Along with that, build import plans and capital advance mechanisms for subsidiaries to import coal of all kinds, serve blending with domestically produced coal and supply to consumers, especially coal for electricity consumption according to signed contracts.
According to TKV's Coal Business Board, regarding coal consumption and export in 2025 and coal import and blending plans to ensure sufficient coal supply for thermal power plants during the peak months of the dry season in 2025. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, TKV will consume more than 13.3 million tons of coal, equal to 27% of the annual plan, of which coal for electricity production is more than 11.3 million tons. In 2025, TKV signed contracts to sell coal to domestic customers for a total of more than 50.4 million tons, of which electricity production customers signed contracts for 2025 for more than 42.7 million tons. The Group also built a plan to import and blend to ensure coal supply for electricity in the first 7 months of 2025, estimated at about 26.1 million tons.
Mr. Vu Anh Tuan, General Director of the Group, said: Taking advantage of favorable weather, TKV units are focusing on boosting production, striving to achieve maximum output in the first 6 months of the year, reaching over 52% of the yearly plan, ensuring labor safety during the production process. At the same time, the Group is focusing on finding customers, expanding the coal import and export market, promoting coal imports from Laos, increasing maximum imported coal output on the basis of well-prepared conditions for warehouses, transportation, and blending; focusing on production, implementing imported coal for blending, meeting coal types, not allowing a shortage of coal for the economy, especially coal for electricity production according to the direction of the Prime Minister. In addition, strengthen the protection, inspection and supervision of coal production, transportation and consumption processes, ensure environmental work in general and environmental work in particular in port warehouse areas, ensure safety, security and order in the production process, and complete planning targets and tasks.
