Quang Ninh purchases electricity from China

VOV.VN - Two localities of Quang Ninh province will purchase electricity from China’s Guangxi province to fee local consumption and production.

Representatives of the Northern Power Corporation of Vietnam on May 22 held a working session with representatives of the Guangxi Power Grid Co. Ltd. to negotiate an electricity purchase contract between the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) group and the Guangxi Power Grid Co. Ltd.

The Chinese side agreed to supply electricity to Mong City city and Hai Ha district of Quang Ninh province in May, June and July 2023. It also agreed to immediately prepare infrastructure as well as technical and operational work to ensure electricity supply for the Vietnamese side after the contract is signed.

The two sides are scheduled to ink the contract on May 23, and as of 0:00 on May 24, the power will be officially switched on from Shen Gou (China) to Vietnam via the 110 kV Shen Gou - Mong Cai transmission line.

The price of the electricity is yet to be disclosed.

EVN said earlier it would purchase electricity from Laos and China this year to ensure electricity supply for domestic use in the context that electricity demand for business production and people’s daily consumption is increasing considerably due to the impact from heat waves.
