It's predicted that in year end, the average output of the national power network may reach 245-247 million KWh per day and the maximum capacity of 13,100-13,400 MW.
In order to meet the power demands of the whole country and to prepare water reserve for the dry season of 2010, EVN has asked the hydropower plants in the northern region to closely follow the hydro-metrological forecast to limit the exploitation works in order to retain the highest water level, especially in the end of November; and to maximise the working capacity of other coal-fed, gas-fuelled power plants.
In the first ten months of this year, the total power output that EVN has produced and purchased from other plants outside EVN's network was posted at 69.795 trillion KWh, fulfilling 85.85 percent of the year plan. In details, the total electricity output supplied by EVN's member companies was 47.478 trillion KWh, up 7.04 percent year-on-year; and the electricity purchased from EVN non-member power plants of 22.31 billion KWh, increasing by 25.76 percent against the same period of last year, in which those purchased from China was 2.302 billion KWh, up 17.2 percent.
