Viet Nam will host about 200 APEC events across 10 major cities, with the biggest being the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week in Da Nang in November.

2017 marks the second time Viet Nam will host the APEC, following the first in 2006.

Representatives from the EVN NPT, a member of the Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN) Group, said that the cooperation completed the construction of many projects last year in preparation for the international event, including those to improve the capacity of the 500 kV Da Nang, 220kV Hoa Khanh, and 220kV Ngu Hanh Son transformer stations.

The corporation has directed local units to ensure the operation of the transformer stations and transmission lines and provide regular updates on the lines’ status.

The local units were also assigned to intensify management of the transformer stations, especially in Da Nang, and requested to not cut off the electricity in the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters of 2017.

The EVN NPT inspected the operation and safety of the Power Transmission Company No 2, the Da Nang Power Transmission Company, and the 220 kV 220kV Hoa Khanh, 220kV Da Nang, and 220kV Ngu Hanh Son transformer stations from 13-15 March.
