Stable operations

NT2 Director, Dr. Hoang Xuan Quoc, said the company had made great progress and become one of the leading member companies of PV Power. Its successful production and business results have significantly contributed to strengthening the position of the company and PV Power. NT2 has successfully carried out maintenance and repair work to maintain stable operations of the Nhon Trach 2 Power Plant. The company always pays great attention to ensuring safety, protecting worker health and the environment, as well as improving the lives of its staff members and workers. It has a highly qualified technical staff and a team of professional and responsible managers.

In 2017, the company has faced numerous difficulties due to unfavorable weather conditions, low consumer demand and low market prices. To overcome difficulties, since the beginning of this year, NT2 has operated turbines of the Nhon Trach 2 Power Plant according to the competitive power generation market mechanism. Along with promoting good manufacturing practice, the company has carried out periodical maintenance and repair activities to ensure safety for workers. Since September 1, 2017, NT2 has shut down its plant for the first turn-around maintenance after more than 50,000 equivalent operating hours (EOHs).

In the first half of this year, to cope with unfavorable weather conditions, low consumer demand and low market prices, NT2 made careful analyses before offering its prices to maintain uninterrupted operations of its plant and maximize its profits.

Thanks to these efforts, NT2’s electricity output in the first six months reached approximately 2.32 billion kWh; revenue more than VND3.58 trillion; and after-tax profit VND456.3 billion. Total value of the company’s assets has reached more than VND10.19 trillion.

Dr. Hoang Xuan Quoc said NT2 has paid great attention to training workers and created a good working environment for them, while at the same time ensuring stable incomes for all employees. The company has built a 12-storey residential building consisting of 110 apartments for its workers in Long Tho Commune. It has also built a kindergarten for their children, and entertainment, sports and cultural facilities for workers to enjoy good spiritual lives after work.

In 2017, the company concentrates on promoting its production and business activities in an economical and effective manner in accordance with the competitive power generation market mechanism. At the same time, NT2 maintains tight coordination with its partners, including A0/EVN/EPTC, PV Gas and other units concerned to ensure uninterrupted and effective operations.

The company is also intensifying human resource training to meet the requirements of the competitive electricity wholesale market.

With support of an experienced staff, NT2 is maintaining stable operations while at the same time making further efforts to enhance its competitiveness in the electricity market.
