According to data from Vietnam Electricity Group, at 12:30 pm on April 16, in the Northern region, the reservoirs on the Da River system continued to operate strongly.
Hoa Binh Lake has a water flow of 433 m3/s, the total discharge through the plant is up to 1,526 m3/s - the largest discharge level in the country today. Son La Lake discharges electricity 174 m3/s, Tuyen Quang Lake generates electricity 254.38 m3/s.
Meanwhile, Lai Chau, Ban Chat, Huoi Quang and Thac Ba reservoirs are almost non-discharging, the water level is still below the normal level.
In the North Central region, Khe Bo reservoir generates electricity with a discharge flow of 191 m3/s, Trung Son reservoir discharges 86 m3/s. Ban Ve and Quang Tri reservoirs almost do not generate discharge.
The South Central Coast region recorded many reservoirs discharging electricity with small to medium flow rates such as Song Ba Ha discharging 120 m3/s, Song Bung 4 discharging 49 m3/s, A Vuong discharging 30 m3/s, Song Hinh discharging 26.64 m3/s. Most of the remaining reservoirs are almost non-discharging.
In the Central Highlands, the reservoirs on the Se San and Serepok river systems maintain power generation. Se San 4 and Se San 3 reservoirs both discharge 180 m3/s; Se San 3A discharges 77 m3/s.
