Vietnam's electricity output surpasses 10.12 billion kWh in January

Electricity of Vietnam announced it produced and purchased an estimated 10.12 billion kWh in the first month of this year.

Production reached over 3.88 billion kWh, accounting for 38.4 per cent.

To ensure the plan to produce and buy more than 130.5 billion kWh of electricity, (an 11 per cent increase on 2012), EVN's Deputy General Director Dinh Quang Tri said that that the company has added over 2,300 MW of capacity to all sources since December last year.

The organisation forecasts that demand for electricity this year may surpass 2012 as the industrial production sector begins a likely recovery.

The national grid was capable of supplying the economy and domestic market providing there were no sudden changes in hydrology and problems at big plants, said EVN’s Deputy General Director Dinh Quang Tri.

Last year, EVN produced 54.4 billion kWh, which was nearly 3.6 billion kWh more than planned. It was reported to have reduced losses from 2011 by VND3.5 trillion (US$167 million).
