In the current drought situation, Vietnam's electricity industry constantly issues warnings about the shortage of electricity for production, business and daily life. Binh Duong is also entering a hot period, leading to an increase in demand for electricity, Binh Duong Power Company (PCBD) has been implementing many synchronous solutions, ensuring stable power supply, serving Good for production, business and living activities in the province. Binh Duong Newspaper reporter had an interview with Mr. Le Minh Quoc Viet, PCBD Director about this issue.

Binh Duong Electricity strives to provide enough electricity for people and businesses in the 2020 dry season
- Could you tell us the situation of electricity supply and electricity consumption in the province in the past year and expected 2020?
- In 2019, PCBD has ensured sufficient power supply for socio-economic development, daily life of people, important socio-political events of the locality and did not reduce load reduction.
In addition, PCBD has developed the optimal mode of operating the power grid, in order to minimize the time of blackout, ensuring stable and continuous power supply for socio-economic development and daily life of People in the province, especially, have guaranteed safe and stable electricity supply during the Asian Economic Cooperation Forum (Horasis) 2019. Total 2019 commercial electricity output in the province 13,627 billion kWh, reaching 96.85% of the plan, up 9.35% compared to 2018 (equivalent to an increase of 1,165 billion kWh); Production of industrial electricity increased by 8.6% compared to 2018, accounting for 77.67%. In particular, the commercial electricity output not calculated at the 110kV voltage level is 12.267 billion kWh, up 7.57% compared to 2018 (corresponding to an increase of 863 million kWh).
The above results show that the demand for electricity use in the province although growth compared to previous years was lower but still very high. Meanwhile, the 110kV stations under implementation of investment are delayed in energizing due to many obstacles such as site clearance, station location and alignment, so the existing 110kV stations regularly operate. Onions in full and overload condition. This shows a great effort in managing the power supply of PCBD to ensure adequate supply of electricity for the needs of socio-economic development and daily life of the people in the area.
The rainy season in 2019 ends early, so the water level in hydropower plants is low compared to every year, so there is a risk of electricity shortage in 2020. Some 110kV power supply projects in the province are facing difficulties in work. agreement on placement of transformer station, agreement on alignment, site clearance compensation slows the progress of energizing, so power supply in some areas in the province will not be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to ensure adequate electricity supply, in addition to the efforts of the electricity industry, it is necessary to coordinate greatly and support of the locality in accelerating the energizing progress of power supply works in the locality. The province, as well as the participation of all electricity customers in safe, economical and efficient use of electricity. In 2020, PCBD strives to achieve MAIFI twice, SAIDI reaches 231 minutes, SAIFI achieves 5,
- For industrial zones in the province, what solutions will the electricity industry implement to ensure production activities, and to prevent line overload, reduce power loss, sir?
- To ensure the production activities in the industrial zones in the province, PCBD has actively coordinated with the Department of Industry and Trade to prepare the annual and monthly electricity supply plan of the unit and submit it to the provincial People's Committee for approval as a basis for regulating. power supply onions. Organize the collection of information on monthly and 2020 customer demands for key customers and major customers to reach agreement on unifying the plan for output and capacity output when a major or shortage of power occurs. on the system or overloaded by the grid due to the slow entry of 110kV stations, mobilizing customers to participate and implement events, load adjustment program (DR). Implementing the notice of stopping, reducing power supply and re-energizing in case of planned, unexpected and emergency power cuts in accordance with regulations, effectively operating the 19001006/19009000 switchboard and customer care website to promptly provide information. In addition, PCBD is also actively coordinating with departments, agencies, and localities of the province to accelerate the agreement on line and compensation for site clearance to accelerate the energizing of the works. 110kV grid program to prevent overload to ensure power supply.
In addition, to combat overload and reduce power loss, PCBD continues to perform efficient exploitation of public stations, strengthen inspection and handling of overloaded medium-voltage transmission lines, transplant new substations to reducing power supply radius, transferring under-operating transformers, installing capacitor banks, increasing investment and overhaul of rural low-voltage reception grid ...
- How is electricity saving work organized by the electricity sector and society, sir?
- The economical and rational use of electricity not only contributes to helping the electricity industry and the country in ensuring energy security, limiting electricity shortage but also contributing to environmental protection. Especially, in the context of electricity price adjustment has been increased, electricity saving will increasingly play an important role in reducing production and business costs of businesses as well as helping to save costs for households. family use electricity.
Vietnam Electricity in general and PCBD in particular with many practical and persistent activities over the years have gradually directed people and communities to build a sense of economical and efficient use of electricity. Annually, the Steering Committee for Safety Protection of high-voltage grid and electricity saving projects of the province has instructed related departments and agencies to develop programs and plans to implement electricity-saving work in the province. The province aims to organize, deploy, urge and inspect branches, localities and organizations related to electricity saving.
In the coming time, PCBD continues to implement communication solutions to customers and people; closely linked and well coordinated with mass organizations in propaganda to improve the efficiency of socializing power saving communication; to attach importance to the elaboration of plans and power-saving programs in a selective manner with high efficiency solutions, greatly affecting the scope of electricity users; consistently deploying to attached units and monitoring and evaluating monthly implementation results.
- Thank you Sir!
