Leaders of EVN also asserted:
Power corporations need to develop plans to ensure power supply in case the economy recovers with high growth and extreme weather conditions affect the reserve of capacity and electricity of the power system, especially in the Northern region. Paying attention to and focusing on load predicting and grid overload prevention as well as actively working with customers to implement voluntary demand response (DR).

Regarding the technical management of power sources and power grids of EVN, the indicator system is increasingly being perfected. Performance indicators are also getting better and better, especially key indicators such as power plant availability, power loss and power supply reliability. Specifically, in 2021, EVN's total power loss decreased to 6.27%, 0.13% lower than the plan and 0.15% lower than 2020. Regarding the power supply reliability, the SAIDI index of all EVN decreased to 319 minutes, down 37 minutes compared to 2020 (EVNHCMC performed the best with the SAIDI index reduced to 42 minutes).
The rate of automation application in the power system is increasing with 100% of 110kV substations and 80% of 220kV substations being unmanned. Along with that, remote monitoring and control centers for power plants and substations were put into operation. Hotline repair has significantly improved labor productivity, reduced operation and customers' power cut-off time and reduced troubleshooting time. The online data collection has supported monitoring and evaluation more closely and accurately the operating status of the equipment.
