To achieve the above target, the company monitors conditions of the construction, ensures the safety of the dams and reservoirs; operates the plant stably and reliably; regulates and exploits optimally water resources for power generation and water demands in downstream areas; accumulates water in reservoirs in a timely manner, to be prepared for the dry season of 2021; implements properly the programs and plans for natural disaster prevention and search and rescue in 2021.
In 2020, hydrological developments in the Da river basin had been quite abnormal. The total volume of inflow water to the reservoir in the whole year was only 41.82 billion cubic meters (equal to 78% of the average of many years). However, the company had operated and exploited the plant effectively and ensured an energy production of 8,525 billion kWh, equal to 103.2% of the plan assigned by EVN. The water supply against drought had met the needs of agricultural production, daily life and transportation in the lowland dry season. Dams and reservoir works had been fully inspected, monitored and observed, ensuring the safety and stability of the constructions.
