LS ELECTRIC Vietnam: Key Contributor to Power Transmission and Distribution

Within Vietnam's energy infrastructure, the transmission and distribution systems act as important arteries, delivering a stable electricity supply to households and businesses. As the country accelerates its move toward green energy and digital grids, modernizing these networks has become a pressing priority. Aiding this transition, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam has become a trusted partner by providing advanced products and solutions that improve the quality and reliability of the country's national power grid.

Originally manufacturing switchboards in Vietnam, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam has since expanded its product portfolio to include essential electrical equipment, such as transformers, medium- and low-voltage switchgear, ring main units (RMUs), and circuit breakers. Alongside hardware, the company provides integrated solutions for managing substations and power grids. These solutions incorporate digital platforms and systems like Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distribution Management System (DMS), and Energy Management System (EMS), which are designed to improve network-wide monitoring, operation, and coordination.

With its integrated ecosystem, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam is engaged across the entire transmission-distribution value chain, from high-voltage infrastructure to localized distribution. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces failures, cuts costs, and strengthens system reliability.

The company has supplied equipment for many landmark projects, notably 110kV GIS substations serving major urban centers such as Ho Chi Minh City. GIS technology saves space, especially valuable in dense city areas, while offering high reliability and lower maintenance costs, ensuring stable electricity for production and consumption.

High-capacity transformers from LS ELECTRIC Vietnam are utilized in numerous key energy projects. These installations include hydropower plants such as Ham Thuan-Da Mi (300 MW), A Vuong (210 MW), and Tri An (400 MW), along with major thermal power plants like Mong Duong 1 & 2 (2,320 MW), Vinh Tan (1,200 MW), Long Phu 1 (1,200 MW), and Hai Duong (1,200 MW). In its contributions to the power grid, the company has also equipped important substations, including 220kV Phu Binh, 220kV Pho Noi, 220kV Long Bien, and 110kV LG Display.

Its products are also widely applied in industrial, commercial, and residential projects. Major facilities include Samsung factories in Thai Nguyen and Bac Ninh provinces, Lock&Lock Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, and LG Display in Hai Phong, as well as landmark commercial complexes such as Lotte Center, Keangnam Landmark Tower, and Vincom Mega Mall Royal City. These projects highlight LS ELECTRIC Vietnam’s strong brand reputation and its ability to serve diverse customer needs across heavy industry, energy, commerce, and services.

In addition to manufacturing and assembling medium- and low-voltage switchgear, control panels, and electrical components, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam provides end-to-end services including system maintenance, installation, training, and operational support for substations. These services give customers greater confidence in their investment, extend equipment lifespan, and improve overall system efficiency.

At the same time, the company is driving digital adoption in grid management. Remote monitoring, control, and data analytics solutions support predictive maintenance, early fault detection, and optimized load distribution. Through these innovations, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam is strengthening its position as a reliable partner in the modernization of Vietnam’s national power grid.

Looking ahead, the company plans to continue expanding its production capacity in Vietnam, advancing technology transfer, and developing high-quality human resources. With this strategy, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam not only contributes to the stability of today’s power system but also plays an important role in advancing sustainable energy transition and supporting Vietnam’s green growth objectives in the decades to come.
