EVN needs to ensure enough electricity supply during the Lunar New Year 2024 in Vietnam

The Ministry of Industry and Trade requested that Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) proactively operate and mobilize power sources in the national power system to ensure sufficient electricity supply during Tet.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade also recommends that manufacturing units and units with commercial business activities carry out tasks at the end of 2023 and the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin 2024 as follows:

- For production units (Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, Hanoi Beer Alcohol - Beverage Joint Stock Corporation, Saigon Beer Alcohol - Beverage Joint Stock Corporation, Vietnam Tobacco Corporation, Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, etc.):

+ Proactively plan to produce and supply goods for Tet; Reasonably reserve supplies, raw materials, and fuel, reduce costs, and prioritize the use of domestically produced materials to maintain stable production to ensure the supply of goods to the market at reasonable prices, good quality, beautiful designs, and the ability to compete with imported goods; Strictly implement regulations on circulation reserves and national reserves to provide sufficient and timely goods to the market when necessary.

+ Units producing goods for Tet consumption have appropriate plans to minimize production stops near Tet, causing psychological instability in the market; closely monitor sales in the distribution system to prevent shortages and artificial price increases caused by distributors and agents speculating and raising prices.

- For units with commercial business activities (Saigon Trade Corporation, Hanoi Trade Corporation, Ho Chi Minh City Union of Trade Cooperatives, etc.),

+ Proactively implement market stabilization programs, participate in supply-and-demand connection programs, and support the consumption of safe agricultural products and foods;

+ Promote the expansion of the goods distribution network, especially in rural areas and islands, to provide a stable supply of goods in general and Vietnamese goods in particular to the people; actively participate in support programs for policy beneficiaries and people in areas damaged by natural disasters.
