The year 2025 is considered the year of “acceleration and progress” to strive to achieve the GDP growth of 8% or more, creating impulse for continuous two-digit growth in the 2026-2031 period.
To achieve this objective, the delegate of the national Assembly, Phan Duc Hieu, a member of the economic and Financial Committee of the National Assembly, said that electricity is a special basic product, considered the “input” of all the “inputs” of the economy, which contributes to guaranteeing the lives of people, the security and national defense of the country. Therefore, the demand for energy and electricity will inevitably increase in the near future.
According to Mr. Phan Duc Hieu, the demand for energy not only increases in production or consumption, but also the economy also requires higher quality energy sources.
“With two challenges facing the energy industry, including guaranteeing energy safety, sufficient electricity for the economy and the quality of electricity sources, electricity prices will have to be managed differently,” said Mr. Phan Duc Hieu.
To meet the demand for electricity in all situations, the deputy director of the Department of Electricity (Ministry of Industry and Commerce), Doan Ngoc Duong, said that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has proactively reviewed and developed a plan for the supply of electricity by 2025. With the objective of a minimum economic growth of 8% this year, it is forecast that the demand for electricity will increase around 12% according to the scenarios established by the seasons established by the seasons established by the seasons For management.
Based on this operational scenario, from the beginning of 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will instructions the agencies and companies of the electricity sector to meet the requirements of electricity supply. Among the solutions to guarantee electricity supply, increasing electricity savings is an important solution.
Over time, the electricity industry has always struggled to better meet the electrical needs of the economy. However, many opinions say that, to guarantee a sustainable electricity supply, the electricity industry needs to overcome “barriers”, the largest of which are unreasonable points in the cost structure and in the way in which electricity prices are calculated. Electricity prices are still on the way to a “correct and adequate calculation” in the context of continuous fluctuations in the supplies of the sector.
In sharing on this subject, the former director of the Department of Price Management (Ministry of Finance) Nguen Then Thoa said there are three main deficiencies in current electricity prices. The largest bottleneck is that electricity prices have not been implemented according to the market price mechanism. In addition to that, we have not correctly and completely calculated the entrance costs to produce 1 kWh of electricity; The situation of “buying expensive, selling cheap” that has prolonged for many years has not been completely resolved.
Mr. Nguyen Tien Thho said that it is necessary to regulate electricity prices according to market mechanisms; Adjust the current electricity price list to overcome deficiencies and problems; End the crossed subsidies mechanism between groups of clients and, instead, build a reasonable electricity price policy, which takes into account the differences between regions.
From the perspective of companies with high demand for electricity, Mr. Nguyen Van Dat, deputy director of the Thai Nguyen electrolytic zinc factory, said that, with the aim of reaching the objective of the Net Net Government by 2050, the company plans to partially change to the use of green energy and solar energy, thus reducing the pressure on the electrical industry and increasing the autonomy of the company in the use of electricity.
