In the period 2011 - 2015, Electricity of Ho Chi Minh City (EVNHCM) has made a remarkable effort in the movement "Entire country joining hands to build a new rural countryside", "Building typical transmission line and station model", "Promoting innovation, technical modification" and power savings ... to contribute to boosting efficiency in production and business, labor productivity, thereby striving to improve the quality of power distribution and customer services.
Spreading Success
At Patriotic Emulation Congress of Industry and Trade Sector, EVNHCM is one of the units which were nominated for reporting on its advanced models. By June 2015, the Corporation had managed the power grid covering 99,72km of 220kV transmission line and 673,92km of 110kV transmission lines; four 220kV transmission stations with a total capacity of transformers at 1,750 MVA and installation of 52 of 110 kV transmission stations with a total capacity of 5,584 MVA; over 6,100km of medium-voltage lines, 11,500km of low-voltage grid , 24,615 distribution transformers with a total capacity of 10,454MVA to supply electricity to 2.07 million electricity users.
In the period 2011 - 2015, contributing to overall GDP growth of the city (reaching an average of 9-10% /year), the Corporation provides total commercial output of 88.4 billion kWh (approximately by the end of 2015), reaching a per capita of about 2,224 kWh/per capita/year (1.73 times higher than the national average).
Currently, all 56 communes in HCM City have been covered with national grid, ensuring the fundamental criterion No. 4 on rural electrification for all villages in the area. Specifically, it is the distribution system with substations and low and medium voltage transformers to ensure technical requirements for power supply, with 100% of households directly connected to the national grid.
One of the highlights of the EVNHCM project is the construction of submarine cable crossing the waters with 22kV power supply to the island commune of Thanh An, catering for domestic power use with investment of over VND200 billion. This headwork has been commissioned for official operation to help the power industry save over VND10 billion annually as a result of not having to run diesel generators as it was practiced in the past. Thanh An area is a remote outreach with economic difficulties, it was once considered impossible to run the cable across the sea to provide power to the islanders. So the headwork is very significant, especially for the poor people on the island.
Focus on fostering the human resources

Instilling broadly and deeply in the Party members, cadres, officials and employees of planned contents of Central Secretariat and Politburo on "continue to innovate, promote patriotic emulation movement, detection, fostering, reviewing and multiplying the best personal typical models". Along with that, the Corporation continues to renew its policies, to create the motive for researches, using the appropriate form of rewards for relevant period of production and business; to provide training to more workers so that they could achieve the noble titles.
