Digital Transformation in the Development Strategy of Vietnam Electricity: Some Proposals on Digital Transformation in Power Grid Inspection Techniques
Published: July 28, 2026
Abstract
In the development strategy of Vietnam Electricity (EVN), digital transformation plays a very important role in the development of the electricity industry in Vietnam. The EVN and its member units have implemented digital transformation with high determination and many synchronous solutions. This paper outlined EVN's digital transformation successes in recent times that not only bring direct benefits to EVN and electricity customers but also contribute to building the digital economy in Vietnam. In addition, the paper proposed important ideas for digitally converting power grid inspection techniques, helping EVN complete the digital transformation process in the following years.
