Mr. Ngo Tan Cu - General Director of EVNCPC said that preferential credits from the Government of Finland have made great contribution to investing in modernizing the grid of EVNCPC, reducing the risk of electric accidents for operating workers as well as improving the power supply reliability for customers.
The total concessional loan financed by the Government of Finland to EVNCPC is currently 15.6 million EURO. Typical projects using this capital source are miniSCADA ones in the cities of Hue, Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Buon Ma Thuot; MiniSCADA/DMS projects of Tam Ky City and Pleiku City.
