Power infrastructure goes first to welcome dozens of "eagles to nest"

Thanh Hoa Power Company has proactively worked and approached large and industrial customers to accurately assess actual capacity needs, helping unit to be proactive in power supply in area.

In 2022, the province's commercial electricity output reached 6.76 billion kWh, an increase of 3.4% over the same period, while in 2023, electricity output continued to reach more than 7 billion kWh, an increase of 5.1%.

The above figures clearly demonstrate that the demand for power consumption in the province is actually growing continuously and is forecast to increase further in the coming years when a number of large projects complete the investment and come into operation.

Resolutely discuss investment solutions for electricity infrastructure

Faced with the high demand for electricity consumption in the area, Thanh Hoa province has focused on directing local levels and sectors to strengthen coordination with Vietnam Electricity, Northern Power Corporation, and Thanh Hoa Power Company (Thanh Hoa PC) to discuss solutions to remove difficulties, ensuring the goal of timely response to businesses’ demand for power.

Mr. Mai Xuan Liem - Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee - talked with reporters.
