On 10 November 2021, in Hanoi, EVN and AFD held the signing ceremony of a credit agreement for a preferential non-government guaranteed loan worth 70 million euros (equivalent to VND 1,900 billion, accounting for about 20% of total investment capital) for Expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Project.
On 10 November 2021, in Hanoi, EVN and AFD held the signing ceremony of a credit agreement for a preferential non-government guaranteed loan worth 70 million euros (equivalent to VND 1,900 billion, accounting for about 20% of total investment capital) for Expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Project.
The project has been approved by the Prime Minister in terms of investment policy; The Commission for Management of State Capital at Enterprises (CMSC) approved the Feasibility Study Report for the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) to decide on investment; EVN has assigned Power Project Management Board No. 1 (PPMB1) to present as the investor. The project includes 2 power units with a total installed capacity of 480MW, the total investment of VND 9,220 billion. The project's capital sources include: 30% of self-financed capital and 70% of commercial loans, of which foreign non-government guaranteed loans are EUR 70 million (equivalent to VND 1,900 billion) from AFD and the rest is borrowed from domestic commercial banks.
Once completed, the project will bring about the following good effects: increasing the mobilization capacity for loads in the Northern region, especially during peak hours; contributing to improving the working model of the power system (increasing the source and peak power of the load curve, increasing operational flexibility, increasing the reliability and safety coefficient, etc.), thereby contributing to reducing production costs of the system. By making the most of the flow capacity by limiting the annual discharge, it will increase the average annual power generation output by about 495 million kWh, helping to replace power production from fossil fuels, contributing to reducing annual fuel costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, when put into operation, the project also effectively reduces the working intensity of existing units, thereby prolonging the equipment's life cycle, saving costs of maintenance and repair.
Expanded Hoa Binh Power Plant Project: Investor: Vietnam Electricity Representing for the investor to manage and operate the project: Power Project Management Board No. 1. Construction location: The project is located on the right bank of Hoa Binh hydropower dam route: The plant is built in Phuong Lam ward; The intake gate and the inlet canal are located in Thai Binh ward, Hoa Binh city, Hoa Binh province. Design consulting unit: Power Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 1 (PECC1). Main construction contractor: Joint Venture of Truong Son Construction Corporation - Construction Joint Stock Company No. 47 - LILAMA 10 Joint Stock Company. Total investment: VND 9,220 billion. Commencement date: January 2021. Generating power by unit 1: Quarter II/2024; Generating power by unit 2: Quarter IV/2024; Completion of project: Quarter IV/2024. |

Impact of floods and landslides in the Central Highlands, the South and some Northern provinces on the operation of power sources and grids
In recent days, floods and landslides in the Central Highlands, the South and some Northern provinces have affected power source and grid operations. Due to floods in all 3 regions, the water flow to the lakes increased, adding a significant amount of water to the hydroelectric lakes.
Operational situation in July 2023 and goals and tasks in August 2023
In July 2023, Vietnam Electricity Group has ensured sufficient electricity supply to serve socio-economic development and meet the daily needs of the people. The entire system's electricity output in July 2023 reached 26.20 billion kWh - an increase of 7.1% over the same period in 2022. Accumulated for 7 months, the entire system's electricity output reached 160.58 billion kWh - increased by 1.9% over the same period in 2022. The mobilization ratio of some types of power sources to the total electricity output produced in the entire system is as follows:
Power plants need to adjust power generation capacity in accordance with actual hydrological developments during the main flood season
According to information from the National Load Dispatch Center (A0), by the beginning of July 2023, the Northern region had entered the period of starting rain and floods, and the water level of most hydroelectric reservoirs was Most of them have enough water to generate electricity.
The electricity supply situation in the North will be basically guaranteed from June 23, 2023
In recent days, the water level of hydroelectric reservoirs has been raised, a number of thermal power units that encountered problems have been overcome, under the close, drastic and timely direction of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Health. Industry and Trade, the Committee for Management of State Capital at Enterprises and the sharing and coordination of leaders of provinces and cities, the electricity supply situation has improved.
Clarifying information related to coal supply for power generation
Currently, in some mass media, it is mentioned that there is a "shortage of 01 million tons of coal for thermal power production". To avoid public misunderstanding about the responsibilities of coal suppliers, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) would like to clarify the above information as follows:
Information publicity and transparency on implementing procedures of transitional renewable energy projects
After the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 21/QD-BCT dated 7/1/2023 on regulations on electricity generation price bracket for transitional solar and wind power plants, Power Trading Company (under EVN) issued a document to the Investors requesting the submission of documents for calculation and negotiation of electricity prices. The Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnam Electricity has also held conferences with project investors many times to discuss and remove difficulties and problems related to records, orders and procedures for electricity prices negotiation, power purchase and sale contracts, etc. The prescribed processes and procedures have also been publicly and transparently promulgated by EVN and sent to investors.
