(HBO) – To meet increasing demand, Hoa Binh Power Company (PC Hoa Binh) has focused on not only developing power supply infrastructure in the province but also accelerating digital transformation to provide more convenient services for customers.

The provincial power grid has been renovated over recent years to keep up with the local socio-economic development.

The mountainous, sparsely populated province has been facing various difficulties in expanding its electricity supply network. At the time the province was established, its electricity infrastructure was very poor with only 70% of households with access to power.

Director of PC Hoa Binh Nguyen Phuc Thinh said that the company has mobilised resources to upgrade the power grid. From 2016 – 2020, more than 400 power projects were constructed at the total cost of more than 700 billion VND, he noted, adding that nearly 200 billion VND was allocated to major repair projects.

Over the last two years, hundreds of transformer stations have been newly installed in remote areas, he said. In 2022, the company has been focusing on developing low to medium voltage power grids with a total investment of around 200 billion VND. Thanks to such efforts, all households in the provinces now have access to the national grid for production and daily use. Electricity quality has been improved to better meet people’s demand.

Additionally, PC Hoa Binh has made considerable progress in digital transformation. Thinh said the company is striving to complete the process by the end of 2022, enabling it to operate as a digital firm. One of its biggest achievements was to finalise the development of customers' databases. It has also cooperated with banks, intermediaries and e-wallets to accelerate cashless payment of electricity bills. By the end of July 2022, the percentage of customers who pay electricity bills using non-cash methods exceeded 64%./.

Lac Thuy district prioritises resources for industrial, handicraft development

In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.

Phu Thanh implements organic practices in tea production

Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.

Hoa Binh works hard to accelerate progress of key projects

Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.

Hoa Binh achieves record-breaking economic growth in Q1

Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.

Hoa Binh focuses on building strong OCOP brands for sustainable growth

Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
