EVN's First Half 2026 Performance and Second Half Priorities
The Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) has released a comprehensive report summarizing its operational performance during the first half of 2026 and outlining key priorities for the remaining six months of the year. According to the report, EVN and its member companies have implemented a series of coordinated measures to ensure the safe and stable supply of electricity, supporting national economic development and meeting the daily needs of citizens across the country.
Notable Achievements in the First Half of 2026
During the first six months of 2026, EVN successfully fulfilled its mission of ensuring electricity supply nationwide. The power system operated safely and stably, meeting the electricity demands of both residential consumers and industrial production. Particularly in June, EVN collaborated closely with local authorities and relevant agencies to guarantee a safe and stable electricity supply for several important examination periods:
- The 2026-2027 high school entrance examination
- The 2026 high school graduation examination
- The 2026 university, college, and vocational education entrance examination
Electricity companies enhanced their inspection and monitoring of power grids at examination locations, maintaining contingency plans for timely incident response to ensure no power outages occurred that could disrupt these critical examinations.
Power Supply Assurance Solutions
To ensure a stable electricity supply, EVN implemented a series of coordinated solutions:
- Strengthened management of power system operations, particularly for generation and transmission systems
- Proactively developed flexible power system operation plans to respond to potential scenarios
- Enhanced maintenance and repair of electrical infrastructure to prevent incidents
- Accelerated the application of information technology and automation in power system management and operations
- Intensified electricity conservation and efficient energy use initiatives
Challenges Encountered in the First Half
Despite the achievements, EVN faced several challenges during the first half of 2026:
- Complex weather patterns with prolonged heatwaves across the country, peaking in May-June, which increased electricity demand
- Drought in certain regions affecting hydropower generation capacity
- Pressure to invest in power system development to meet growing demands
- Unpredictable fluctuations in input costs (coal, gas, oil)
Key Priorities for the Second Half of 2026
To achieve the 2026 annual plan, EVN has identified several key priorities for the remaining six months:
- Ensure safe and stable electricity supply for economic-social activities and people's livelihoods
- Thoroughly prepare for the 2026-2027 dry season, particularly in the southern region
- Accelerate investment in key power projects
- Promote the application of new technologies and digital transformation in the power sector
- Improve customer service quality, reducing unplanned outage times
- Ensure labor safety and fire prevention across the industry
