According to the Electricity Regulatory Authority ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ), last week (April 22-28), many new records for maximum capacity (Pmax) and daily electricity consumption (A day) were set. At 1:30 p.m. on April 27, the national maximum capacity reached 47,670 MW. National electricity consumption on April 26 reached 993.974 million kWh.
Specifically, last week was affected by the hot weather in 3 regions, especially in the North, so the load demand was high with an average daily output of 946.6 million kWh, about 65.4 million kWh higher than the previous week (about 80.9 million kWh higher than the April method). In particular, the average load in the North last week increased by more than 31.7 million kWh/day compared to the previous week.

Since the beginning of the year, the national load has increased by about 11.2% compared to the same period in 2023, of which the North increased by 11.3%, the Central region by 8.5%, and the South by 11.7%.
Compared to the same period in 2023, on days like April 26, the daily output of the national power system increased by 23.1%, the output of the northern power system increased by 35.5%. On April 27, the maximum capacity of the national power system increased by 20.2%, the maximum capacity of the northern power system increased by 19.9%.
" Despite facing the situation of high system load as mentioned above, the electricity supply situation last week continued to be well ensured," the Electricity Regulatory Authority commented.
According to the Electricity Regulatory Authority, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting forecasts that in the next 10 days, the heat may decrease in the evening, in many places there will be rain and thunderstorms... the maximum capacity and demand for electricity may decrease.
However, the representative of the Electricity Regulatory Authority said that it is still necessary to closely monitor, flexibly operate and strengthen electricity saving measures, persistently implement the load regulation program to meet the peak capacity of the power system in all three regions of the North, Central and South.
The competent authority also requires the Electricity Corporations to accurately forecast the maximum load capacity, clearly announce the ability to implement DR and the ability to mobilize borrowed Diesel sources from customers so that the Electricity Regulatory Authority can update calculations and make operational plans.
Investors of power plants (especially coal-fired thermal power plants in the North) need to ensure the availability and reliability of generators and the entire plant, to avoid incidents during the peak months of the dry season; and to prepare enough fuel for power generation according to the mobilization needs of the system.
This is a very important task, decisive to the ability to ensure safe electricity supply during the peak dry season months because coal-fired thermal power is expected to have a total mobilized output of about 52 - 60% of the total system output during the peak dry season months.
The National Power Transmission Corporation and Power Corporations continue to review and ensure that compensation equipment is ready for operation, ensuring installed capacity; ensuring special discharge circuits, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
