Deputy Director of the company Luong Van Phuong said a smart grid is a system sending electricity from producers to consumers able to independently monitor and distribute power to achieve maximum energy efficiency. All facilities of the grid interact with one another to create a smart power supply system thanks to the application of modern information and communications technology. To consumers, the smart grid help monitor their electricity use in different points of time, thus helping change consumption behaviours and save money.

Given those advantages, PC Hoa Binh has taken measures to develop a smart grid since 2018, which is also a move to carry out the Government’s programme on smart grid development.

He noted that the company has worked to apply science - technology to all activities, from electricity production to grid management and operation. Softwares have been created for use in management, e-invoices applied, old electricity meters replaced with electronic ones, and related services provided online. Uniform measures have been implemented to improve the reliability and quality of power supply.

In addition, PC Hoa Binh has invested resources in developing the grid infrastructure and made use of scientific and technological advances to modernise the grid operation. Notably, a remote control centre was put into use in July 2018, helping detect and deal with electricity incidents faster.

Thanks to the active application of new technologies, the firm has achieved the set targets, thus ensuring the safety, stability, and reliability of power supply for consumers. Those attainments form a prerequisite for PC Hoa Binh to boost the smart grid development in the years to come./.
