EVN purchases 2.2 billion kWh of power from China
The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) had purchased nearly 2.2 billion kWh of power from China by the end of July, a 13.2 percent rise from the same period last year.
The figure brought the total power output imported and locally purchased by EVN so far this year to 15.6 billion kWh, up 22.79 percent from a year ago.
EVN said that it will reassess domestic power production and consumption to make a new decision on how much electricity it will buy from China, and when, in the coming time.
In the January-July period, Vietnam produced nearly 41.1 billion kWh of commercial electricity, up 8.83 percent compared to the same period last year, nearly half, or 49.09 percent, of which was used for production, up 5.57 percent year on year, while the remainder was consumed by the public, showing an annualized rise of 12.08 percent.
EVN estimated that the country’s average power production will be 250 million kWh this month with the highest production capacity reaching 13,800-14,100 MW.
