Have plans and scenarios ready to respond to incidents, especially during the rainy and stormy season, to ensure stable and safe power sources in the last 6 months of 2025 and in 2026... Leaders of provinces and cities after the merger continue to pay attention to directing the removal of difficulties in key power source and grid development projects in the locality, contributing to ensuring safe and continuous power sources and grids to serve socio-economic development and meet people's living needs.
