📋 Tender Overview
Summer 2026 recorded a sharp increase in electricity consumption, continuously breaking previous records. The electricity industry is proactively implementing plans to meet increasing load demands and ensure safe operation of the power system. Download Mr. Do Van Nam, Member of the Board of Members of Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC) At the seminar Ensuring power supply in the dry season in 2026 organized by Construction Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, representative of the National Power System and Market Operating Company (NSMO) said that by the end of May 2026, the peak capacity of the national power system had reached about 58,000 MW, an increase 5.6% over 2025 record; Electricity consumption reached about 1.2 billion kWh/day, an increase of nearly 9.5%. The North alone recorded electricity consumption of about 630 million kWh/day, peak capacity reached 30,000 MW, an increase of 6.3% compared to 2025. According to Mr. Tuan, this growth is equivalent to the fact that every year the North needs to add an additional Hoa Binh hydroelectric plant to meet load demand. In the context of forecasts that the El Nino phenomenon may last from mid-2026 to 2027, the pressure to ensure electricity supply in the coming time will be huge. Mr. Do Van Nam, Member of the Board of Members of the Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC), said that by the end of May, EVNNPCs maximum capacity had reached 20,482 MW, an increase of 13.3% over the same period last year. On hot sunny days at the end of May, electricity output throughout the North reached 430-440 million kWh/day, 100 million kWh/day higher than normal weather days. EVNNPC forecasts that peak capacity this summer could reach 21,200-21,500 MW, even exceeding 22,000 MW if extreme weather conditions occur. This creates great pressure on the safe, continuous and reliable operation of the power system. Download Mr. Ngo Son Hai, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) Synchronously deploying solutions to ensure electricity in the hot season To cope with increased load demand, Mr. Nam said EVNNPC is implementing key solution groups. That is to focus on investing, renovating and maintaining the 110 kV, medium voltage and low voltage power grid system to ensure the operating infrastructure is in the best state, limiting the risk of incidents when peak power increases for a long time. Along with that, build load scenarios for each locality, coordinate with departments, branches and local authorities to proactively plan operations. Promote the electricity load adjustment program. Since the beginning of 2026, the company has organized customer conferences in localities, worked with large businesses to develop load shifting plans, adjust reasonable production schedules and mobilize backup generators when necessary. According to Mr. Nam, businesses reducing electricity consumption during some peak hours not only helps reduce pressure on the system but also contributes to ensuring electricity for peoples daily activities without affecting production activities. Another important solution is is to enhance communication and promote economical and efficient use of electricity. Along with that is promoting the development of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power. Mr. Ngo Son Hai, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), said that the group has issued a plan to implement Directive No. 10 of the Prime Minister on enhancing electricity saving and developing rooftop solar power. Within EVN, electricity saving targets are specifically assigned to each unit and associated with the assessment of the level of task completion of the head. For customers, EVN is promoting propaganda and consulting on economical and efficient use of electricity. fruit. The customer care system of power corporations has integrated the function of monitoring and warning of abnormal electricity consumption so that people and businesses can make timely adjustments. EVN also coordinates with localities in propagandizing and checking the implementation of regulations on economical and efficient use of energy; At the same time, implementing electricity demand management and load adjustment programs to reduce peak capacity and improve system safety. For self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power, EVN is actively disseminating policies and providing online support to make it more convenient for people and businesses during the implementation process. Currently, most of EVNs headquarters have installed rooftop solar power and the group is continuing to review suitable locations for expansion in the near future.
