The company primarily serves state utility operators, industrial enterprises, and infrastructure contractors across the northwestern region and broader domestic market of Vietnam. In recent developments, the company has undertaken corporate restructuring and governance changes, completed board of management transitions, executed capital reallocations to improve debt management, and implemented technical overhauls across its operational hydropower units, including modernization of turbine components, automation of supervisory control systems, and integration of upgraded meteorological and reservoir safety monitoring tools to enhance plant efficiency and grid dispatch compliance.
