According to the report on the plan's implementation for the first nine months of the year, the company's power generation is expected to reach 934.8 million kWh, equivalent to 102% of the annual plan. The generating units operated safely and stably, meeting the power system's dispatch requirements.

During the first nine months of the year, the plant experienced no incidents; the cumulative availability factor reached 99.82%, the self-consumption rate was 0.56%, and the rate of downtime due to incidents was 0%. All economic and technical indicators met the planned targets.

On September 28, 2026, Ban Ve Hydropower Company reaches milestone of 917 million kWh, completing its 2026 power generation plan three months ahead of schedule.

At the beginning of 2026, the water level of Ban Ve Reservoir reached 199.8m, close to the normal water level of 200m. The water inflow into the reservoir during the dry season was relatively good, except for June; the average for the first 9 months of the year reached 155.93m³/s.

According to Ban Ve Hydropower Company, relatively favourable water conditions have enabled the unit to complete its production plan ahead of schedule. The company proactively calculated reservoir regulation plans, using water resources for power generation according to the system's mobilization requirements, while ensuring downstream water supply and complying with the Inter-Reservoir Operating Procedure on the Ca River basin.

During the early months of the flood season, the company increases power generation to efficiently utilize water resources, maintain flood control capacity as regulated, and limit the amount of water that needs to be released through the spillway; at the same time, it accumulates water appropriately to serve power generation in the later months of the year. Maintenance and repair work is carried out according to plan, promptly addressing equipment defects and maintaining the reliability and availability of the generating units, especially during periods when the power system has high demand.

During the first nine months of the year, disaster prevention and search and rescue efforts were implemented according to the "four on-the-spot" principle, combined with monitoring meteorological and hydrological developments and preparing response plans for adverse situations.

In the year-end months, the company continued to operate the reservoir and generating units safely, regulating them according to the Inter-Reservoir Operating Procedure, striving to bring the reservoir water level to the normal level. At the same time, it strengthened technical management, maintenance, repair, and ensured occupational safety to maintain equipment reliability and meet the power system's mobilization requirements.
