The Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant maintained a workforce on duty throughout the Tet holiday to ensure system safety and stable electricity supply.
The Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Plant maintained continuous production during the Tet holiday, facing a dual requirement: ensuring the supply of petroleum products to the market while maintaining the stable operation of a large-scale industrial complex with high interconnections to the national energy supply chain.
The Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Plant maintained operations throughout the Tet holiday, ensuring the supply of petroleum products to the market during the first months of the year.
According to a representative of Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Company Limited (NSRP), the company is fulfilling long-term contracts to supply crude oil with reputable partners, including the Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (KPC).
Crude oil tanker No. 269, towed by PTSC Thanh Hoa, docked at Nghi Son Port on February 15th (28th day of the 12th lunar month of the Year of the Snake) as scheduled, ensuring a supply of raw materials for the refinery during the Tet holiday.
Based on signed contracts, the crude oil delivery schedule is being maintained as planned, ensuring a stable and continuous supply of raw materials before, during, and after the Lunar New Year. Along with ensuring raw material supply, safety and operational stability are also given top priority.
During the Tet holiday, the refinery deployed a full complement of leadership, functional departments, and operational, maintenance, and safety personnel on duty 24/7; maintenance service contractors also maintained staff to meet technical requirements. The equipment systems for importing crude oil from the sea were inspected and maintained to ensure reliability throughout the process of receiving oil tankers, minimizing the risk of operational disruption.
The PTSC Thanh Hoa service vessel towed NSRP's finished product vessel in and out of the refinery on February 17th (the first day of Tet), for product distribution to the market.
The Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Plant is maintaining stable operation at high capacity, fully meeting committed production targets and contributing to ensuring the supply of petroleum products to the market during the peak period during and after Tet (Lunar New Year). It is expected that in the first quarter of 2026, the operating capacity will reach 120-125%, supplying approximately 2 million tons of petroleum products to the market.

In the energy sector, the Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant continued to maintain its operational workforce throughout the Tet holiday to ensure system safety and stable electricity supply. Mr. Nguyen Huu Manh, Head of Operations at the Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant, stated: “During the Lunar New Year holiday, 170 officials, engineers, and workers were assigned to shifts, maintaining operation at approximately 40% of the designed capacity.”
According to Mr. Manh, due to the nature of the work and the continuous operation of the plant, since it began commercial operation in 2022, the team of experts, engineers, and workers have always strictly adhered to the duty roster throughout the Tet holiday, ensuring that there is no interruption in the power supply to the system.
In 2025, the plant maintained a power generation output of over 7.1 billion kWh, fulfilling the agreed-upon electricity supply plan, and simultaneously exceeding the 3 million safe working hours mark, affirming the effectiveness of its operational management and occupational safety.
According to the 2026 dispatch plan, the Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant is expected to supply approximately 7.78 billion kWh to the national power grid, continuing to play a crucial role in ensuring energy security for the region and the entire country.
Given the projected double-digit growth in electricity demand in the coming period, especially as new industries such as artificial intelligence and semiconductors are gradually brought into operation, according to the 2026 dispatch plan, the Nghi Son 2 BOT Thermal Power Plant is expected to supply approximately 7.78 billion kWh to the national grid, continuing to play a crucial role in ensuring energy security for the region and the entire country.
Nghi Son Cement maintained its production line throughout the Tet holiday with 150 workers participating in the operation.
According to a summary by the Management Board of Nghi Son Economic Zone and industrial parks in Thanh Hoa province, during the Lunar New Year holiday of the Year of the Horse 2026, nine enterprises in the Nghi Son Economic Zone maintained operations throughout the holiday, with 1,860 workers on duty and working in shifts to ensure the continuous operation of production lines, machinery, and essential services. The workforce is mainly concentrated in heavy industry, energy, and construction materials enterprises – sectors with highly interconnected operations that are difficult to disrupt.
Maintaining production operations at specialized facilities is crucial to ensuring equipment operational efficiency and product supply plans for the market.
Of these, Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Company maintains the largest workforce with 679 people, followed by Dai Duong Cement Joint Stock Company (520 people), Nghi Son 2 Thermal Power Plant (170 people) and Nghi Son Cement Company (150 people); Miza Nghi Son Company Limited (100 people)...
Besides the main industrial pillars, several mechanical engineering, supporting industry, and service businesses in the Economic Zone also arranged for staff to work during Tet to ensure operation, maintenance, security, and logistics for the entire zone.
According to a quick report from the Department of Industry and Trade, most industrial manufacturing businesses in the province took a Tet holiday break from the 27th-28th of the 12th lunar month and resumed operations on the 7th day of Tet. In addition to businesses in the Nghi Son Economic Zone, cement factories, ceramic tile factories, sugar factories, dairy factories, and power projects all deployed personnel to maintain continuous operation of production lines, kilns, and generators before, during, and after Tet.
Technical staff at the Nong Cong 220kV substation are on duty 24/7, working increased shifts to detect abnormalities in the system early and handle them promptly, ensuring uninterrupted power supply for production activities.
To ensure a stable energy supply for production and consumption, the Department of Industry and Trade has issued directives to guarantee safe and continuous electricity supply during the Tet holiday. Thanh Hoa Power Transmission Company and Thanh Hoa Power Company have both developed 24/7 contingency plans, preparing personnel and resources to handle unforeseen incidents.
The forecast for commercial electricity consumption during the Lunar New Year holiday is a 7.1% increase compared to the same period last year; the projected peak power (Pmax) is 1,085 MW. Medium-voltage loop operation plans and maintenance of the distribution grid are being implemented to ensure continuous and stable power supply for both industrial and residential areas throughout the holiday.
