EVNSPC accelerates power infrastructure investment in southern Vietnam

Southern Power Corporation (EVNSPC) is accelerating infrastructure investment to ensure national energy security and support economic growth in southern Vietnam. In the first nine months of the year, the corporation commenced 46 110kV grid projects and energized 64 projects across the 220kV and 110kV levels, with a disbursement value of 13,278.3 billion VND.

Despite challenges such as land clearance, procurement issues, and harsh weather, EVNSPC is prioritizing power supply for high-growth areas, including industrial zones and urban centers. The corporation aims to enhance power reliability to attract foreign direct investment (FDI).

To support industrial clients, which account for approximately 55% of total electricity consumption, EVNSPC utilizes N-1 redundancy criteria in its grid design. This ensures that if one component fails, alternative sources or lines can maintain supply. The corporation aims to extend this N-1 reliability standard to both residential and business customers by 2028.
