Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has pledged to ensure enough water for agricultural production and domestic use in the central and Central Highlands regions during summer and the summer-fall crop, which begins in April and ends in August.

The corporation recently organised working sessions with representatives from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, hydropower plants and relevant agencies in Phu Yen, Quang Nam, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces in order to adjust the supply of water from reservoirs to lowlands.
Accordingly, from now until August, reservoirs at local hydropower plants will discharge water through the generation of electricity at least 12 hours a day. The discharge will depend on the water demands of local people.
EVN said that in May it will utilise thermoelectricity resources to ensure the power supply for the southern region and effectively operate hydropower plants in the regions.
In the first four months of 2014, the country’s output of commercial electricity stood at 38.5 billion kWh, up 8.31 percent from the same period last year.-VNA
