Consumers set for squeeze as power costs skyrocket
The use of many power supply sources, including high-priced sources, has caused Electricity of Viet Nam’s costs to soar, leading to the possibility of future power hikes. Dinh The Phuc, deputy head of the Minister of Trade and Industry’s Power Regulation Department, said that, because the southern region could not meet all its power demand, EVN had to take power supply from the central region to the South and at the same time operate a diesel-fueled turbine system.
