The shift of peak power generation hours for small hydropower plants shall ensure national electricity system security, ensure safe, stable, reliable and efficient operation of the national power system; There is no cost increase when buying power from small hydropower plants compared to that before the shifting.
Also according to this document, EVN will evaluate the actual performance results, the operation situation of the power system and the costs incurred when shifting the peak generation time for small hydropower plants to make report to the Ministry of Industry and Trade before 1 December 2021. The small hydropower plants are responsible for cooperating with Vietnam Electricity in discussion and agreement on the contract of amendment and supplement to the power purchase agreement on shifting peak generation hours.
