Visit of EVN NPT Representatives

On 10–12 October 2016, a group of representatives of the state power grid of Vietnam EVN NPT led by Mr. Dang Fang Tuong, Chairman of the Board of Directors visited Russia.

National Power Transmission Corporation (EVN NPT) was founded on 1 July 2008 with the reorganization of four companies’ activity: Power Transmission Company No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and three Project management offices: Northern, Central and Southern. The goals of the company are: to ensure safe, uninterruptible and sustainable transmission of electric power for economic, political, social, national defense activities and national security; to develop EVN capital, invested in EVN NPT; to rationally use available resources with the purpose of profits maximization and acquiring funds for reinvestment in EVN NPT. The main activities are: to effectively realize electric power transmission, to invest in grid development,  to operate, maintain and service the network, to render consulting services in regard to construction and investment, monitoring of project realization,  training and developing employees for management, operation and maintenance of the power system. EVN NPT owns more than 100 electric power substations in Vietnam.

The agenda included a meeting with FGC UES JSC top management, a visit to one of the Federal Grid Company’s facilities and a meeting with Izolyator management.

In accordance with the agenda, the representatives of EVN/NPT together with the delegation of Izolyator, led by Alexander Slavinsky arrived at the FGC UES Headquarter.

Andrey Murov, Chairman of the Board of Directors at FGC UES JSC received the visitors.

The grip companies’ representatives discussed bilateral cooperation and issues of HV grids development. For instance, the sides shared experience in construction and operation of 220–500 kV bulk power networks, application of HV equipment of domestic production in power facilities.

In the course of the meeting, the sides also discussed support measures for manufacturers of electrical engineering products and a possibility for FGC UES to provide an evaluation of the power grid of Vietnam. The Federal Grid Company expressed readiness to provide support both by sharing information and experience in HV networks operation.

FGC UES management confirmed the high quality of Izolyator products confirmed by the many years of cooperation and recommended Izolyator as a reliable strategic partner for development of the national grid in Vietnam and other countries.

The visit of EVN NPT’s representatives to Russia resulted from a large work on Izolyator side: the company is actively engaged in integration processes in the global power industry adhering to a consistent policy of partnerships initiation between leading power companies of Russia and other countries.

Thus, the company set up business contacts and cooperation with the largest state grids Power Grid Corporation of India Limited in India and Elia in Belgium earlier.
