From high mountains to remote sea and islands

On daily average, there is one more commune supplied power in the country. This is the result gained from implementing the Vietnam Rural Electrification Program for the period of 1998-2007.

During this period, the most remarkable gain was the Vietnam Rural Energy Project I with total investment of over VND 3,294 billion, supplying power to 976 communes nationwide.

EVN has mobilized investment capital sources to supply power to island districts and communes.

Since August 2017, EVN has taken over and managed the power system in Truong Sa (Spratly) islands. So far, EVN has managed and supplied power to 11/12 island districts across the country, significantly contributing to promoting the marine and island economy, protecting the national sovereignty.
