"Dual campaign" of Ha Tinh Electricity industry

(Baohatinh.vn) - After two storms No. 5 and No. 10, Ha Tinh's power grid infrastructure was seriously damaged, while the weather continued to be unusual, forcing Ha Tinh Electricity Company to both repair the power grid infrastructure and ensure electrical safety in the community.

Ha Tinh Electricity Industry has made every effort to quickly fix the problem and restore stable power supply to the people.

Up to this point, 88/88 medium voltage lines and 100% of substations have completed troubleshooting, supplying power to 491,071 customers. According to Ha Tinh Electricity Company, only the Xuan Giang floating area (Nghi Xuan commune) is flooded (people have moved to the shore to take shelter), so the company has a plan to supply power to people's shelters and continue to deploy a plan to fix the power problem to restore power as soon as people return.

However, storm No. 10 has seriously damaged the power grid infrastructure of Ha Tinh. The system of fallen and broken power poles is being temporarily repaired with temporary poles, causing the risk of electrical safety to always be latent. Along with restoring the power grid, Ha Tinh Electricity Company is actively implementing electrical safety plans; directing its affiliated power units to organize propaganda and warn people about using electricity after the storm and flood.

The power grid infrastructure was severely damaged, making it difficult to overcome the consequences and implement electrical safety measures.

At the Ky Anh Regional Power Management Team, since storm No. 10 until now, there has been no time for staff and workers to rest. The number of fallen and damaged electric poles and medium voltage wires is the largest in the province, the number of customers served accounts for more than 14% of the total customers in the province and is the concentrated area of ​​​​the province's industrial zones and clusters, posing a major task of quickly completing troubleshooting, restoring power supply, and propagating and advising on post-storm electrical safety for customers.

Mr. Ho The Vinh - Deputy Head of the Ky Anh Regional Electricity Management Team said: "During the peak time of troubleshooting, the Team reviewed, consulted on solutions and coordinated with units to implement technical solutions, using temporary poles to supply electricity to people. To ensure people's safety, the unit deployed warning signs at locations using temporary poles, temporarily anchored inclined poles and other vulnerable places; coordinated with local authorities to propagate and remind people to raise awareness of preventing electrical accidents."

All dangerous locations are posted with warning signs by the electricity industry.

Due to the impact of storm No. 10, Duc Quang and Duc Minh communes were flooded and isolated for many days. At the peak, 4,732 customers had their power supply interrupted. Immediately after the water receded, the Duc Tho Regional Electricity Management Team proactively followed the area, propagandized and reminded people to implement electrical safety measures.

Mr. Hoang Chi Thanh - Deputy Head of the Duc Tho Regional Electricity Management Team said: “Immediately after the storm, the Team was present to check and review the entire power grid and wires behind the meter, quickly fix the problem, ensure safety before turning on the power; hang warning signs on temporary poles, locations with potential safety risks. Currently, the water has receded, people are focusing on cleaning up, the Team continues to coordinate with the People's Committees of communes to propagate electrical safety. Accordingly, it is recommended that people comply with the recommendations issued by the electricity industry, do not affect the temporary pole locations such as: climbing on the poles; cutting ropes, tying livestock; absolutely do not go near the locations of broken electric poles, broken wires. In flooded areas, people must check the wiring system and electrical equipment to have timely replacement measures if the wires are not guaranteed. If the damaged part is behind the electric meter, it is mandatory to cut off the main circuit breaker before proceeding with repairs…”.

Duc Tho Regional Electricity Management Team closely follows the area, checks and repairs the electrical system, and at the same time propagates and reminds people to implement electrical safety measures.

With determination to restore the power grid while ensuring safe electricity use, Ha Tinh Electricity Company has proactively sent documents to the Provincial People's Committee and the Commune People's Committee requesting coordination in propagating electrical safety among the people; posting dozens of articles on electrical safety propaganda on loudspeakers, grassroots media, newspapers and social networks; sending propaganda messages via customer care apps and SMS to raise awareness among electricity users. In addition, the company organized the hanging of 309 billboards, providing 27,050 electrical safety handbooks, leaflets, and electrical fire prevention handbooks to customers.

The company also directed power units to restore the power grid while ensuring electrical safety, completing the installation of warning signs at temporary pole locations, temporarily anchored tilted pole locations and other locations at risk of electrical safety; sending official dispatches to telecommunications network operators requesting coordination in implementing safety solutions for people...

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thach Khe commune said that as a locality heavily affected by two storms, the power pole system in the area cannot be guaranteed as before. Therefore, electrical safety is the most urgent task of the locality after overcoming the incident. We have deployed a review of the entire power system in the area, from houses to agencies, offices, schools; propaganda through zalo groups, local pages so that people can proactively check the power lines leading to their homes, contact the local power team to repair damaged locations; absolutely do not go near temporary poles, tilted power poles... to ensure absolute safety for people after natural disasters.

The electricity industry continues to strengthen propaganda to the people about safety measures and prevention of electrical accidents.

According to Mr. Bui Quang Nhiem - Head of Safety Department of Ha Tinh Electricity Company, thanks to proactively implementing propaganda measures, after two storms No. 5 and No. 10, Ha Tinh has not had any unfortunate accidents related to electrical safety. However, the weather continues to develop abnormally, causing a very high risk of risks to the power grid and electrical safety. Ha Tinh Electricity Company hopes to receive the support of local authorities in coordinating inspection and monitoring of areas at risk of unsafety; strengthening propaganda for people on measures to prevent electrical accidents, especially for temporary pole systems after storms, and need to comply with the recommendations of the electricity industry to avoid unfortunate incidents. In addition, people need to raise their vigilance, proactively notify the electricity industry when detecting incidents or risks of electrical safety, contributing with the electricity industry to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid, serving the people's lives and production well.

Ha Tinh Electricity Company recommends electrical safety solutions after the storm:

- People should proactively cut down and prune trees that are at risk of falling into the power grid; check the electrical system behind the meter.

- Do not climb poles or power stations without permission to avoid electric shock.

- Absolutely do not have any actions that impact the temporary electric pole locations such as: climbing the pole; cutting the rope, tying livestock, having physical impact on the pole, rope or other violations.

- Absolutely do not go near temporary electric poles, broken poles, or downed electric wires.

- When repairing or renovating houses and buildings inside and on both sides of the power grid corridor, people, equipment, tools and vehicles must not violate the safe distance for electrical discharge, specifically: for voltages from 01 - 35kV it is 2m; 110kV it is 3m.

- In case of damage that needs to be fixed or repaired, a professional with knowledge of electricity must be appointed to perform the work, in case of power failure or other power sources. Notify the local Electricity unit of any incidents, defects, or safety risks that are beyond the scope of handling by calling 19006769.
