Mr. Phung Van Sinh - Deputy General Director, Acting General Director of EVNGENCO 1 chaired the meeting
Situation of production & business and construction & investment in November 2018:
In November 2018, the electricity output of EVNGENCO1 reached 2,830 million kWh, accounting for 108% of the output planned in November and 124% of output in the same period of 2017. Of which, hydroelectricity output reached 681 million kWh and thermal power output valued at 2,149 million kWh. For the first 11 months of 2018, the electricity output of the Corporation was 29,533 million kWh, achieving 86% of the year plan and accounting for 108% of the output in the same period last year.
Water level of EVNGENCO 1’s hydropower reservoirs was higher than the minimum level under the inter-reservoir operation procedures (except water level of Song Tranh reservoir). Therefore, EVNGENCO 1’s hydropower plants have basically ensured the technical and economic criterias, producing extra 1.452 million kWh compared to the planned output.
Thermal power units operated stably. The thermal power units of Duyen Hai Thermal Power Company were mobilized at high capacity. However, the availability of thermal power units was lower than the planned targets, some units were stopped for back-up plan, resulting in lower electricity output compared to the plan. It is expected that the remedy of S7 unit - Uong Bi will be completed and the unit will be put into operation in December 2018.
EVNGENCO1 also focused on fossil fuels supply (domestic coal and imported coal) to ensure continuous power generation. The Corporation has worked with TKV to ensure enough coal for operation of 02 units of Quang Ninh Thermal Power Plant in December. For imported coal, EVNGENCO1 is performing the contract of purchasing 1 million tons of coal (phase 1) and continue to sign another contract (phase 2 of 2018) to ensure sufficient coal for operation of 02 units in Duyen Hai 3 TPP in late 2018 and early 2019.
Repair and maintenance work, occupational health and safety and fire prevention of EVNGENCO 1 have always been of special concern.
Regarding construction and investment, for projects invested by EVNGENCO1, the value of implemented volume in November 2018 was VND 439 million. In the first 11 months, the value of implemented volume and the disbursement value were VND 11,424 billion (accounting for 90% of the year plan) and VND 11,424 billion (accounting for 89% of the year plan), respectively. For Extended Duyen Hai 3 Thermal Power Plant Project (EVN is the investor; EVNGENCO1, represented by Thermal Power Project Management Board No.3, is the project management consulting unit), the value of implemented volume and the total disbursement value in the first 11 months were VND 2,660 billion (accounting for 44% of the year plan) and VND 1,942 billion (accounting for 32% of the year plan), respectively.
The construction and investment of key projects such as Extended Duyen Hai 3 and Extended Da Nhim got many difficulties so they were all behind schedule. However, EVNGENCO1 has requested the Project Management Units (Thermal Power Project Management Board No.3 and Da Nhim - Ham Thuan - Da Mi Hydropower JSC) to urge the Contractors to accelerate the construction progress and implement alternative solutions to ensure the power generation schedule of the Projects.
In terms of equitization of the Parent company - Power Generation Corporation 1, The Ministry of Industry and Trade has approved the land using plan of the Corporation in the provinces where its power plants are located. The Corporation has also sent the documents to the People’s Committees of Quang Ninh and Thanh Hoa provinces for the official decision on the land using plan after equitization of EVNGENCO1.
EVNGENCO1 has also signed the authorization contract to manage the capital of EVNGENCO1 with Representatives at subsidiaries and associated companies.
Key objectives in December 2018:
In December 2018, EVNGENCO1 shall strive to fulfill the task of producing 2.942 million KWh of electricity as assigned, including hydroelectricity of 369 million kWh and thermal power of 2,573 million kWh. Hydropower plants shall optimize the use of water resources and carry out the inter-reservoir regulatory procedure and water supply for the lowland. The thermal power plants shall optimize the output according to the requirement of the National Load Dispatch Centre.
Especially, EVNGENCO1 also focuses on the solutions to ensure sufficient coal for electricity production. In particular, the Corporation shall complete signing principal contract with TKV for long-term coal supply and the contract of purchasing coal in 2019 for power plants using domestic coal. At the same time, the Corporation shall strive to improve the coal handling capacity at Duyen Hai Electricity Center, upgrade the laboratories to meet VILAS standards to be qualified for doing inspection of domestic coal purchasing contracts. For imported coal supply, the Corporation will issue bidding documents to buy 1 million tons of coal and will soon organize to buy long-term coal for Duyen Hai 3 Thermal Power Plant.
In the last period of 2018, EVNGENCO 1 will also focus on maintenance and repair, complete the remedy of S7 unit (Uong Bi) to put the unit into operation in December 2018 and ensure the quality of repair work before FAC issuance of S1 unit (Duyen Hai 3 TPP).
Regarding construction and investment, EVNGENCO 1 shall strictly monitor the progress and the quality of the construction works according to current regulations. The Corporation has requested the contractors to synchronously implement the solutions to ensure the target schedules. Specifically, for Extended Duyen Hai 3 TPP project, the time of first boiler fire shall be not later than December 27, 2018; For Extended Da Nhim Hydro Power project, the power generation shall be finished by the end of 2018.
The equitization of EVNGENCO1 shall also be focused. In particular, the Corporation shall complete the procedures to get the approval of the land and housing handling plan and implement equitization plan under the direction of EVN.
