Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed that the electricity sector plays an extremely important and indispensable role in the process of protecting, building, and developing the country. The electricity sector is all-encompassing, influencing and impacting all sectors, levels, and the entire population.
Electricity has five stages (including power generation, power transmission, power distribution, power consumption, and power prices) and depends on six inputs (including coal, oil, gas, water, sunlight, and wind).
"Therefore, the electricity sector must coordinate with ministries, agencies, and units to operate scientifically, in accordance with the conditions of the country and the people of Vietnam, especially in the context of a rapidly changing, unpredictable world situation that exceeds all forecasts. Vietnam is a developing country with a transitional economy, modest scale, limited resilience, and high openness," the Prime Minister stated.

While acknowledging, commending, and congratulating the achievements of the electricity sector, and thanking the sector for its significant contribution to the overall positive results of the country in 2023, the Prime Minister also pointed out some shortcomings that need to be addressed, such as: the continued occurrence of localized power shortages; the slow progress of some power generation and grid projects; and the disciplinary actions taken against some Party members, officials, and employees of units within the Group…
Under no circumstances should there be a power outage.
Looking ahead, the Prime Minister has instructed the electricity sector to ensure there are no power shortages under any circumstances; to manage and operate according to the laws of competition and supply and demand, but with priority policies to ensure social welfare; and to restructure the Group to operate according to market principles, aiming for financial balance, boosting production and business, overcoming limitations and weaknesses, while simultaneously preventing corruption and protecting and encouraging those who dare to think and act.
