HANOI, June 5 (Reuters) – Vietnam’s rolling power cuts have hit industrial parks in the country’s northern provinces where top global manufacturers such as Foxconn and Samsung have factories, officials said on Monday, as a surge in consumption amid a heatwave stretched the power supply system.
The frequent and often unannounced power cuts prompted EuroCham, which represents European companies in the country, to send a letter on Monday to the industry and trade ministry urging quick measures to address the emergency.
Some industrial parks in the northern provinces of Bac Ninh and Bac Giang have been facing blackouts, said two local investment officials, declining to be named as they were not authorised to speak to media.
“We are working with EVN later today to discuss the situation and possible measures to limit the impacts,” one of the officials said, referring to the country’s state utility Electricity of Vietnam.
The provinces house production facilities of Samsung Electronics , Foxconn, Canon Inc and Luxshare, among others.
