Promoting digital transformation to ensure national energy security

In a seminar on promoting digital transformation to ensure national energy security by 2050 held by the Công thương (Industry and Trade) newspaper, experts said that the energy industry has had many innovations, applying achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including digital transformation in all activities of management, operation, exploitation and use of energy resources. In the national digital transformation programme, energy is one of eight priority areas for implementation. Decision No 749 dated June 3, 2020 approving the National Digital Transformation Programme by 2025 and orientation to 2030 of the Prime Minister, defines that digital transformation in the energy sector focuses on the power sector towards maximising and automating networks for efficient power supply. Enterprises have also started applying digital transformation in the distribution unit system. In the electric industry, digital transformation in hydropower plants is still limited.
