No power cuts on Tet

The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) assured there will be no power cut during Tet festival.

The daily demand during the festival season is estimated at around 225 million KWh.

To ensure adequate supply, the EVN will inspect the network and quickly fix any problems that arise.

It has increased output at several thermal power plants but still has to buy 423 million KWh from China.

The EVN has supplied around 7.3 billion KWh of electricity, including 4.3 billion KWh from its own plants.
