Of which, communication 500/220kV transformers were installed and energized at the 500/220kV distribution yard in Long Phu; energizing phase 2 of Pha Lai - Bac Ninh 220kV transmission line; energizing T2 transformer at Tinh Gia 2 110kV substation, T2 – 40MVA transformer at Nha Man 110kV substation, T2 transformer and equipment of Muong La 110kV substation, increasing the capacity of 110/35/22kV – 40MVA transformer at Ngu Hanh Son 220kV substation; energizing 110kV transmission line that connects Krong Ana 220kV substation - Krong Pak 110kV substation, Phuoc Long 110kV substation and its connecting lines, etc.
Regarding social security work: EVN was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Prime Minister for its many achievements in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. EVN has reduced electricity tariff and electricity bills in 5 phases (in 2020 - 2021) with a total amount of more than VND 16,950 billion. From the end of April 2021 to now, EVN and its member units have donated about VND 575 billion for pandemic prevention and control. In which, EVN donated VND 400 billion to the COVID-19 vaccine fund and 24,000 computers (equivalent to VND 60 billion) for the "Waves and computers for children" program.
In addition, EVN was honored to receive an award in the category of Excellent Digital Transformation Enterprise at the Vietnam Digital Awards 2021 organized by the Vietnam Digital Communications Association (VDCA). The Excellent Digital Transformation Enterprise Award is awarded to businesses that have a strong digital transformation process from traditional models to a working and business environment based on digital technology.
Some goals and tasks in December 2021
In December 2021, the average power consumption of the whole system is expected to be 700.5 million kWh/day, the largest load capacity is estimated at 37,071MW.
The power system operation goals in December 2021:
- Continuing to perform well the dual task of ensuring the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic, while ensuring the power production and supply for the country's socio-economic development and people's daily life, at health care facilities, COVID-19 concentrated isolation areas.
- Ensuring safety in the operation of hydropower exploitation, safety against floods and ensuring water supply for downstream, with the goal of water storage at the end of the year.
- High mobilization of coal-fired power plants in the North to ensure the goal of water storage in the Northern hydropower reservoirs.
- Mobilize gas turbines according to system needs, ensuring system stability, constraints against grid overload and voltage quality.
Regarding construction investment: Ensuring the progress of urgent power source projects and power grid works, releasing renewable energy capacity. Continuing to implement arrange loans procedures for power source and grid projects.
In December 2021, the units actively well implemented the Customer Gratitude Month 2021 program with the theme "Accompanying customers to overcome difficulties due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic"; the humanitarian blood donation program "The 7th EVN Pink Week - 2021" with the message "Ten thousand hearts - One heart";
In addition, EVN continues to direct the Power Corporations/Companies to fully prepare human resources and means, increase the 24/24 response; proactively respond to natural disasters in the rainy and stormy season, ensure the safety of people, equipment, electrical works, and ensure the safety of dams, hydropower plants, and downstream areas of reservoirs.
