The Committee will continue to direct disciplinary action against other related individuals according to the principles of fairness and objectivity, not omitting any individual or collective with violations or shortcomings; in sync with the review and disciplinary action work, the Committee has also implemented personnel work at EVN.

From May to the first half of June, there was a widespread disruption of power supply, especially in the Northern region, causing public outrage, affecting people's lives, and causing damage to the economy . The Prime Minister has directed strict handling of relevant organizations and individuals.

Immediately after the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued the inspection conclusion on the implementation of legal regulations on management and operation of electricity supply by EVN and units related to electricity supply, the Committee directed EVN and related units to conduct a review to clarify responsibilities and discipline relevant collectives and individuals; at the same time, clarify the existing systemic shortcomings and limitations to propose solutions to overcome them in the coming time.

As a result, reviews were organized at 24 units throughout EVN, 85 collectives, and 161 related individuals.

Regarding the A0 National Power System Control Center leaving EVN, the Ministry of Industry and Trade suggested that it is necessary to consider the appropriate charter capital level when A0 establishes a one-member LLC.
