📋 Tender Overview
Expected peak at 10pm, the load of the national and Northern power systems will reach 53,600 MW and 29,300 MW, respectively. Under the impact of the severe heat wave, the load in the North continued to increase sharply, about 1,300 MW (equivalent to 4.8%) higher than the peak on the same day, marking a new consumption record in 2026, exceeding the Northern operating record in 2025 (the record on August 4, 2025 in the North was 28,187 MW). Download Under the impact of the intense heat wave, the load in the North continued to increase sharply, about 1,300 MW (equivalent to 4.8%) higher than the afternoon peak on the same day. According to the National Electricity System and Market Operation Company Limited - NSMO (Ministry of Industry and Trade), updated at 5:00 p.m. on May 25, the national load capacity at the afternoon peak (at 1:40 p.m.) reached 55,196 MW. Capacity in the North set a new record at 27,955 MW, up 5.8% compared to May 15. The capacity in the Central and South regions was recorded at 5,380 MW and 22,109 MW, respectively. The voltage of nodes on the system and the load level of equipment are within the allowable operating limits. It is expected that the peak at 10:00 p.m., the load of the national and Northern power systems will reach 53,600 MW and 29,300 MW, respectively. Under the impact of the intense heat wave, the load in the North continued to increase sharply, about 1,300 MW (equivalent to 4.8%) higher than the peak on the same day, marking a new consumption record in 2026, exceeding the Northern operating record in 2025 (the record on August 4, 2025 in the North was 28,187 MW). According to the National Center for Hydrological Forecasting, heat waves are occurring. spread over a large area in the North and Central regions, many places experienced intense to extremely intense heat with common temperatures of 36-40degC, in some places above 40degC; In Ha Nam and the Northern Delta, the highest temperature is commonly 37-39degC. The hot weather is forecast to continue until around May 27-28. NSMO said that it is expected that the largest capacity of the national/Northern power system at peak time at 10:00 p.m. could reach 55,519/30,134 MW, approximately 7,000 MW higher than before the hot weather. The electricity consumption of the national/Northern/Central/Southern electricity system is 1,188/610/107/470 million kWh, respectively. Implementing Directive No. 10/CT-TTg dated March 30, 2026 of the Prime Minister on strengthening the implementation of electricity saving and developing rooftop solar power, as well as to ensure safe operation of the electricity system and optimize costs for electricity users, NSMO recommends that people use energy economically and effectively, in the short term during the peak period of the 2026 dry season and in the upcoming hot days.
