Bac Ninh Electricity Company mobilized maximum force to fix the problem and soon restore power to flooded areas.

BAC NINH - Due to the impact of storm No. 11, heavy rains and floods have caused flooding in many areas in the province. To ensure the safety of the power grid and avoid power incidents, Bac Ninh Electricity Company has temporarily stopped supplying power to many areas; at the same time, it has mobilized maximum forces to inspect and repair infrastructure damage, and soon restore power supply to serve the lives, activities, and production of people, businesses, and the management and direction of agencies and units.

According to information from Bac Ninh Electricity Company, in the area under the Yen The Regional Electricity Management Team, since the afternoon of October 7, there has been a power outage on 10/10 power lines and 400/400 transformer stations, affecting more than 38,000 customers due to rising floodwaters. By this morning (October 8), the unit has re-energized 1 power line and 10 transformer stations with 811 customers using electricity in the Phon Xuong town area, in the old Yen The district. Currently, Bac Ninh Electricity Company has mobilized human resources from units to the Yen The Regional Electricity Management Team to support incident handling and restore power when the water recedes.

Officials and workers of Bac Ninh Electricity Company prepare equipment to go to the old Yen The district to check and fix problems caused by rising floodwaters.

For the area under the Tan Yen Regional Power Management Team, power was lost at 44 transformer stations with nearly 7,000 customers affected. For the area under the Hiep Hoa Regional Power Management Team, power was lost at 21 power lines and transformer stations with more than 6,000 customers affected due to rising water.

For the area under the Viet Yen Regional Power Management Team, the entire Van Ha commune area with over 2,600 customers lost power; the area under the Lang Giang Regional Power Management Team lost power on 20 power lines and transformer stations with over 8,000 customers.

Currently, Bac Ninh Electricity Company has established a shock team of 30 officers and workers with full protective gear and construction tools and equipment from various units to support the Yen The Regional Electricity Management Team to fix problems after the storm and quickly restore power when the water recedes.

Regional power management teams are also required to inspect the entire power grid safety corridor, review locations at risk of landslides and flooding, and develop emergency response plans when necessary. The 24/7 on-duty force is fully equipped with safety tools, life jackets, protective gear, and rescue equipment to be ready to participate in troubleshooting when required. At the same time, the Company uses mobile loudspeakers to propagate to the people to ensure safety when turning on the power after floods.

Bac Ninh Electricity Company recommends that people in affected areas should check their household electrical system (from the meter) before using electricity again, ensuring that wires, sockets, circuit breakers and electrical equipment are completely dry, with no signs of electrical leakage, cracks or damage.

Never touch electrical equipment with bare hands if you are not sure it is safe. For equipment or wires that have been flooded, remove them, dry them or replace them before use. You should turn off all circuit breakers or circuit breakers in the house and only turn them back on after a thorough inspection. If you detect any unusual signs such as electrical leakage, smoke, sparks or a burning smell, immediately turn off the power and notify the nearest Electricity unit for timely support. Do not make temporary connections yourself, do not use bare wires or wet sockets to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire or explosion, which can endanger life and property.
