Making a report at the anniversary, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Tung – President and
CEO mentioned the challenges, difficulties and big achievements gained by EVNNPT over the past 10 years. He said EVNNPT was established at the time
when the world economic was in crisis, Vietnam’s economy had many obstacles,
and EVN had many difficulties on investment cost and finance, the power loss
and power shortage occurred in wide area. Together with those difficulties,
from starting its operation, EVNNPT
had to face many challenges such as: the national power transmission system has
not met the demand, the power overload occurred in all 3 country regions:
North, Central and South, with high danger of system failures; The transmission
tariff was too low, accounting for only 6% of power price, whereas it normally
accounts for 10 -12%, in other countries. Therefore, EVNNPT was in shortage of fund for investment; The required progress
of investment projects are intensive, especially the progress of transmission
projects synchronized with generation projects. Many projects have been behind
scheduled, whereas the compensation and site clearance met with many
difficulties; The demand on fund for investment was increasing day by day,
while the depreciation fund was sufficient only for repayment of principal and
interest, the mobilization of capital was very difficult; The financial
indicators were negative, which have not met requirements of lenders, donors
and regulations of Ministry of Finance.
Facing such difficulties and challenges, the leaders and staff of EVNNPT have made the best efforts, step by
step settled the difficulties to complete well the tasks given by Party,
Government and EVN. The transmission grid developed strongly, both in
scope, quality and technologies. By now, EVNNPT manages
and operates 24,423 km transmission line (including 7,503 km and 16,920 km
at 500kV and 220 kV), increased by 2.22 times compared with those of
establishment of EVNNPT; 142
substations (including 28 and 114 substations at 500kV and 220kV, respectively),
with total transformer capacity of 82,438 MVA, increased by 2.29
times on number of substations and 3.72 times on total capacity compared with
those of time of establishment of EVNNPT.
The power transmisson system has reached all nation-wide provinces and cities
interconnecting to the transmission utilities in the region, with modern
technologies such as multi-cuircuit transmission lines, multi-voltage level,
220kV underground cable, 220kV GIS substations, unmanned substations,
computerized control system, fault location system, online oil monitoring
system, SCADA, etc,…At present, the scope of EVNNPT power transmission system ranks in top 3 of ASEAN countries,
and top 8 in regard of transmission line length in 24 Asian transmission
utilities, ranks top 4 in ASEAN and top 11 in 24 Asian power transmission
utilities in regard of transformer capacity.
Basically, EVNNPT operates
the transmission grid in a secure, uninterrupted, stable manner, has
transmitted securely 1,201.2 billion kWh, with the average growth rate of 10.95%/year,
contributing, together with EVN, to ensuring the power supply to the
socio-economic development of the country over the past years.
In reducing power loss, despite the 500kV North-South transmission line
always has high rate of transmission to ensure the power supply to the South,
which impact strongly the power loss in the transmission grid, EVNNPT implemented well and integratedly
the solutions in management, operation, construction investment, measurement
management and power receipt and delivery for reducing the power loss. The
power loss results in power transmission grid was reduced from 3.14% in 2019 to
2.45% in 2017. With this result, the power loss of EVNNPT’s transmission grid has been similar to that of the
transmission utilities of advanced countries such as RTE of France, Elia 50 HZ
(Germany), REE (Spain), PSE SA (Polland), Transgrid (Australia), KEPCO (Korea),
TEPCO (Japan). Over the last 10 years, the construction investment became
complicated, especially in compensation and site clearance, EVNNPT has always made efforts to complete
a huge amount of investment projects, put into operation and energize 470
transmission projects.
With the strong investment and development of last 10 years, by now, the
power transmission grid has overreached to all national-wide cities and
provinces, interconnected to the regional countries: China, Laos, Cambodia and
plays a significant role as a backbone of Vietnam’s power system to supply
power to the socio-economic development of the country. Especially, the 500kV
transmission system has developed rapidly and actually plays a crutial role to
the transmission lines from power load centre and big power plants, the 500kV
ring circuit at the Northern and Southern areas.
Over the last 10 years, the power transmission system has developed
rapidly, with capacity transmitted of over 1.2 times of total transmission line
length, over 1.3 times of substation and over 2.7 times total transformer
capacity of the transmission grid invested in more than 30 years before the
establishment of EVNNPT. This
achievement has contributed greatly to EVN’s power supply to the high rate
socio-economic development of the country in the past 10 years.
