According to Mr. Pham Quoc Bao, Becamex Group is one of the enterprises that plays a leading role in developing industrial, urban and service infrastructure, and is also a magnet attracting many domestic and foreign investment projects. For EVNHCMC, Becamex is also a particularly important customer when the capacity of 110kV transformer stations serving the groups industrial park system accounts for about 1/7 of the total 110kV power grid capacity managed by the Corporation. From that fact, EVNHCMC determines that ensuring stable and continuous power supply for Becamexs industrial parks is a key task in the coming years. To accompany Becamex, EVNHCMC has developed an investment plan for the next 2-3 years to complete the entire regional power grid. By the end of 2026, we strive to automate 50% of 22kV lines and aim for 100% by 2028. For the 110kV power grid, the goal by 2028 is to ensure the entire system meets N-1 criteria, thereby improving the reliability of power supply to the region, said Mr. Pham Quoc Bao. In addition to the long-term investment roadmap, EVNHCMC also will deploy immediate solutions to handle bottlenecks in the regional power system, and coordinate with relevant units to speed up the progress of important power source and grid projects to increase the ability to supply power to industrial parks.

Notably, EVNHCMC and Becamex Group also agreed to research and develop new energy models such as rooftop solar power, energy storage systems (BESS), LNG cogeneration and efficient energy use solutions, in line with the orientation of energy transition and sustainable development. The two sides will maintain a regular meeting mechanism every 6 months or hold extraordinary meetings when necessary. to evaluate the results of implementing the Regulations and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles during the implementation process. Assessing the meaning of cooperation, Mr. Nguyen Van Hung - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Becamex Group said that the requirements of international investors, especially in high-tech fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence and data centers, are increasingly setting high standards for stable, reliable power sources and the use of green energy. Mr. Nguyen Van Hung said that the signing of this Coordination Regulation not only expands cooperation between the two units in the field of electricity but also creates a foundation to jointly research and develop renewable energy solutions and modern energy infrastructure, meeting the requirements of new generation industrial parks. We are committed to continuing to accompany EVNHCMC to proactively research and deploy new energy solutions, gradually building a green industrial park ecosystem, meeting the increasing requirements of domestic and foreign investors, Mr. Nguyen Van Hung emphasized. Leaders of the two units expect that the combination of EVNHCMCs power system management and operation capacity with Becamex Groups industrial infrastructure development experience will contribute to forming the system. Modern energy infrastructure, meeting the requirements of green economic development, attracting investment and improving Ho Chi Minh Citys competitiveness in the new period. Duy Doan
