As of 7:00 a.m. on November 11, 2025, according to an update from Vietnam Electricity Group, Hoa Binh Lake recorded upstream water levels at elevation of 116.59 m; water flow to the lake reached 3,679 m3/s; total discharge was 3,672 m3/s.
Implementing the inter-reservoir operation process in the Red River basin, Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant opened a bottom spillway gate at 6:00 p.m. on November 9, 2025 to regulate the lake water level and ensure the safety of the project.
At Tuyen Quang Lake, by 7:00 a.m. on November 11, the upstream water level reached 118.97 m; the water flow to the lake reached 325 m3/s; the total discharge was 114.04 m3/s. Currently, Tuyen Quang Hydropower Plant has closed all bottom spillways, only maintaining power generation through generators to regulate the flow downstream.
As of 7:00 a.m. on November 11, Son La Lake recorded upstream water levels at 215.45 m; water flow to the lake was 2,345 m3/s; total discharge was 3,734 m3/s. Implementing the inter-reservoir operation process in the Red River basin, Son La Hydropower Plant opened a bottom spillway gate of Son La Hydropower Plant at 4:00 p.m. on November 9, 2025 to regulate the lake water level.
At Lai Chau Lake, as of 7:00 a.m. on November 11, the upstream water level reached 295 m; the water flow to the lake reached 1,813 m3/s; the total discharge was 1,813 m3/s. Currently, Lai Chau Hydropower Plant is opening a facial opening.
A similar situation occurred at Thac Ba Lake, where the upstream water level reached 58.12m; the water flow to the lake reached 320m3/s; the total discharge was 372.44m3/s. Currently, Thac Ba Hydropower Plant is maintaining 2 floodgates.
In the context of complicated heavy rain, the flexible operation of hydroelectric reservoirs, ensuring safety downstream is considered a key factor in natural disaster prevention in the North.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, today, November 11, storm No. 14 Fung-wong is still active in the East Sea.
It is forecasted that by 7:00 p.m. today, the center of the storm will be at about 20.8 degrees North latitude - 118.4 degrees East longitude, in the eastern sea of the North East Sea.
