Revenue model

1. Electricity Sales: EVN generates revenue primarily from selling electricity across all customer segments - residential (91.45% of customers in HCMC), commercial, industrial, and agricultural. Revenue comes from regulated retail electricity prices determined by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, with periodic adjustments based on cost pass-through mechanisms.
2. Transmission Services: EVN operates the national transmission grid (including 500kV lines) and charges transmission fees for access to the grid by third-party generators. This is part of EVN's core regulated utility operations.
3. Electricity Exports: Vietnam exports electricity to Cambodia under bilateral agreements. Cambodia's National Assembly is reviewing legislation to guarantee electricity payments to Vietnam Electricity for imports from April 2026 to April 2030, replacing an expired agreement.
4. Electricity Imports: EVN increases electricity imports while operating domestic power plants at full capacity during periods of high demand, such as heatwaves driving peak demand to 58.46 GW.
