Key locations such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi People's Committee, cultural, sports and mass media agencies are provided with power from two grid sources or backup generators. Particularly important locations are also equipped with UPS systems to ensure absolute safety. On-call teams to operate and handle incidents are deployed 24/7.

Flexible solutions to ensure electricity in all situations

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, General Director of EVN, said that the Group has issued a document directing all its affiliated corporations to focus on implementing the work of ensuring electricity supply to serve political, social and cultural activities celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day.
