(HBO) – The Hoa Binh Power Company (PC Hoa Binh) under the Electricity of Vietnam has for years been striving to improve its supply quality through the application of a series of measures to lower power outage duration and meet customers’ demand.
PC Hoa Binh steps up application of line insulator
washing, an important measure to improve the reliability of power supply.
Nguyen The Hung, vice director of the company, said it has
taken many measures to improve its supply reliability.
They include completing a safe and flexible grid structure,
developing a year-long plan for cutting off electricity, building a reasonable
operating method, and reducing the duration of power outage for maintenance;
and applying line insulator washing.
In addition, the company has also employed heat cameras and
drones; boosted human resources training; and launched communications
activities to raise public awareness on power safety.
As a result, PC Hoa Binh’s System Average Interruption Duration
Index (SAIDI) was lowered from 2,762.9 in 2020 to 1,634.5 in 2021, and its
System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), from 26.3 to 16.14 in the
period.
Hung also pointed to a number of shortcomings found in the
company’s operations. As Hoa Binh is a mountainous province, the power grid in
some local areas runs on difficult terrain with unfavourable traffic. When an
incident occurs there, it might take a long time to check and handle.
Meanwhile, many electricity technologies applied in Hoa Binh have been
outdated, while the local level of automation remains low.
The
vice director said his company plans to build an action plan and a mechanism
for grid operation for 2023 t

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended a groundbreaking ceremony for an electronic printed circuit board (PCB) factory at Da River Left Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh province on April 13. The electronic PCB factory is invested by Japan's Meiko Group at a total cost of 200 million USD.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
