On June 13th, many areas in the northern mountainous region received rain. Although the water flow was low, it helped improve water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs. Notably, the flow in some small river and stream basins in the northern provinces of Lai Chau , Lao Cai, and Ha Giang increased rapidly.

The water inflows to the reservoirs were recorded as follows: Lai Chau Reservoir: 401 m3/s, Son La Reservoir: 278 m3/s, Hoa Binh Reservoir: 404 m3/s, Thac Ba Reservoir: 96 m3/s, Tuyen Quang Reservoir: 425 m3/s, Ban Chat Reservoir: 266 m3/s.

The influx of water has helped the reservoirs in Lai Chau, Son La, Tuyen Quang, and Ban Chat to surpass their dead water levels. Currently, only Thac Ba reservoir is close to its dead water level (45.91/46m).

According to the Department of Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering, the water inflow into the reservoir is mainly for regulating water levels to ensure minimum flow, with hydropower plants operating based on the inflow. Plants in the Northern and North Central regions are operating at low water levels and power outputs to ensure the safety of the generating units during operation, making it difficult to meet the power generation requirements according to reservoir operation procedures at this time.

The hydroelectric reservoirs have exceeded their dead water levels.

According to information from the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, although there has been rain in recent days, the amount of water flowing in is not much, so the power generation capacity remains low.

Forecasts indicate that hydrological conditions and water inflow into the reservoir will continue to increase slightly over the next 24 hours. According to the Electricity Regulatory Authority, improved hydrological conditions, along with repairs to thermal power plants, are expected to help alleviate the strain on electricity supply in the North in the coming days.
