Power supply with high reliability

The robust development of tourism, the city’s spearhead economic sector, has driven Da Nang to the top provinces with the highest economic growth in the country. In recent years, the local GRDP (gross regional domestic product) growth rate has been 8 - 9%, much higher than the GDP growth rate of the whole country. As a result, the electricity demand in Da Nang is always at a high level. In 2018, the electricity consumption is projected to increase by more than 14% against 2017.

According to Mr. Vo Hoa - Deputy Director of Da Nang Power Company, customers in the commercial, hotel – restaurant sector are identified as the focus group and a proper service approach for this group has been worked out accordingly. In addition, to prepare for each major political, tourism and cultural event held in the city, the Company actively coordinated with the City People's Committee and relevant authorities to grasp concrete agenda of the event, and thereby prepared feasible and detailed plans to ensure electricity supply.

The electricity supply for a key tourist city is secured by providing not only sufficient electricity but also in a highly reliable way. Therefore, the Company has decided to develop smart grids, to implement the project of distribution grid automation in order to minimize power outage duration on the occurrence of failures. Da Nang aims to achieve SAIDI index in the central area of ​​the city less than 100 minutes by 2020. This is the leading electricity supply reliability in the country.
