Notably, according to the electricity industry, after many days and nights of mobilizing working forces, Hue Electricity Company has restored power supply to all affected customers, reaching a rate of 100%.
As TTO reported, after storm Kalmaegi, there were 31 incidents on the 110kV grid, causing power outages at 17 110kV substations in Gia Lai and Dak Lak provinces, along with hundreds of power poles and lines falling down.
After the storm, broken trees blocked roads and widespread flooding made access to the scene difficult.
At the medium voltage level, EVNCPC recorded 427 incidents and power outages, causing more than 1.6 million customers to lose power - accounting for about 26% of EVNCPC's total customers. The most severely damaged provinces were Gia Lai and Dak Lak.
