EVN asked to up service quality
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN) to focus all resources on supplying higher quality and more reliable power for socio-economic activities and people’s daily use.
As the major State-owned firm in the power sector, EVN was asked to improve its restructuring efforts, thus enhancing its effectiveness and competitiveness.
The prime minister requested the firm to renovate and re-arrange power generation, distribution, retail and operation systems, as well as the electricity market to ensure the introduction and effective functioning of the wholesale power market.
The PM also directed EVN to own only six power plants with socio-economic, security and defence significance and other plants with close links to these major plants.
The firm was asked to make public its cost and power price, while focusing on fighting corruption, improving service, strengthening administrative reform and improving online payment services.
The government leader also urged EVN to continue reducing the time it takes for businesses to access power, making Viet Nam among the four ASEAN countries with the shortest time for power access.
