One of the reasons that EVN called for lack of electricity due to rather low electric purchase, so lack of invested capitals. According to calculation to the year 2015, in order to meet the requirements for development, EVN will need total capitals of 800 thousand billion dongs. With current high economic growth, about 7 percent, if no mobilization of capitals early, strictly lack of electricity for production in Vietnam.
As for increase of electric cost, as an economic expert, Mr Le Dang Doanh has commented, increase of electric cost is not avoidable due to electric cost has been stabilized by the Government, while cost of input fuels have been increased strongly. Otherwise, price of oil and coal for export are very high. Thus, it requires intinery gradually for increase of electric cost. Definitely, electric cost will be increased in 2009. However, in current background, according to economic experts and enterprises, increase of electric cost with its high level will not be avoidable, is it advisable to increase of electric cost with proper level of 5 percent or highest level to 10 percent.
