(HBO) – Over the past years, the Power Company of Hoa Binh province (PC Hoa Binh) has actively carried out many measures to develop a smart grid in efforts to optimise electricity consumption, reduce costs, and enhance the power system’s reliability and efficiency.

Deputy Director of the company Luong Van Phuong
said a smart grid is a system sending electricity from producers to consumers
able to independently monitor and distribute power to achieve maximum energy
efficiency. All facilities of the grid interact with one another to create a
smart power supply system thanks to the application of modern information and
communications technology. To consumers, the smart grid help monitor their
electricity use in different points of time, thus helping change consumption
behaviours and save money.
Given those advantages, PC Hoa Binh has taken
measures to develop a smart grid since 2018, which is also a move to carry out
the Government’s programme on smart grid development.
He noted that the company has worked to apply
science - technology to all activities, from electricity production to grid
management and operation. Softwares have been created for use in management,
e-invoices applied, old electricity meters replaced with electronic ones, and
related services provided online. Uniform measures have been implemented to
improve the reliability and quality of power supply.
In addition, PC Hoa Binh has invested resources
in developing the grid infrastructure and made use of scientific and
technological advances to modernise the grid operation. Notably, a remote
control centre was put into use in July 2018, helping detect and deal with
electricity incidents faster.
Thanks to the active application of new
technologies, the firm has achieved the set targets, thus ensuring the safety,
stability, and reliability of power supply for consumers. Those attainments
form a prerequisite for PC Hoa Binh to boost the smart grid development in the
years to come./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
