Working meeting with EVN NPT management at the 47th CIGRE Session

On 27 August 2018, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Izolyator Alexander Slavinsky took part in the working meeting of FGC UES PJSC’s management and the state power grid company of Vietnam EVN NPT, which took place on the sidelines of the 47th CIGRE Session in Paris.

Nguyen Minh Thang, EVN NPT’s Board Member led the Vietnamese delegation.

The sides discussed their interaction within the Memorandum of Understanding between FGC UES PJSC and EVN NPT, which was signed during the visit of the Russian delegation to Vietnam in August 2017, as well as realization of other joint projects in other areas of cooperation.

The Russian electrical products have been operating on power facilities of Vietnam for over half a century and proved their reliability. Today, the cooperative ties between the companies of the two countries are not merely confined by export — both experience exchanges and joint research activities take place — in pursuit of the power complex improvement.

Russia’s being an active contributor to the work of the International Council on Large Electric Systems CIGRE is an important factor of cooperation development. Vietnamese companies are also active within CIGRE, however they do not form a national committee yet. Interaction within CIGRE opens new opportunities for science and technology exchange between specialists of the two countries.

Izolyator, over the past several years, initiates, organizes and actively participates in integrative processes that bring together the experience and interests of national power and industrial companies of Russia and Vietnam. Our company is also s leader in Russian-made electrical products promotion on the Vietnamese market. Izolyator delivers HV RIP bushings in the voltage range 72–220 kV for the needs of power generating facilities and transformer plants of the Republic of Vietnam.

In 2018, Izolyator came out with an initiative of organizing an open workshop for Vietnamese power engineers with participation of Russia’s leading electrical engineering companies, which gathered over a hundred representatives of generating, power grid and industrial companies of Vietnam this March.

The meeting on the sidelines of CIGRE session opened new prospects for development of mutually beneficial cooperation and integrative development of the power industry between the national and regional power systems of Russia and Vietnam and outlined new directions for promotion of Russian energy production on the Asian market.
