Central Vietnam Power Corporation holds emergency meeting to respond to Typhoon No. 13.

On the morning of November 3rd, in response to the complex flood situation and the forecast that Typhoon No. 13 could directly affect the area from Da Nang to Khanh Hoa, the Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) held an emergency online meeting chaired by General Director Ngo Tan Cu, connecting with power companies and member units to direct response efforts.

Mr. Ngo Tan Cu, General Director of the Central Vietnam Power Corporation, chaired an emergency meeting to respond to Typhoon No. 13 and ensure the safety of the power grid during heavy rain and flooding.

According to EVNCPC, as of 7:00 AM on November 3rd, the entire region recorded 707 power grid incidents, with 605 restored. 87,439 customers remained without power, accounting for 1.77% of the total number of customers, mainly concentrated in Da Nang and Thua Thien Hue. In Da Nang alone, due to heavy rain and severe flooding, over 61,000 customers had their power temporarily cut off for safety reasons.

EVNCPC mobilized nearly 750 officials and employees, along with external support units, to focus on addressing flooding and landslides in areas such as Hoa Vang, Que Son, Dong Giang, and A Vuong…

General Director Ngo Tan Cu requested that the entire system maintain safety and discipline, absolutely avoid complacency, and not prioritize progress over electrical safety.

Power companies in the Central Highlands and Khanh Hoa provinces have been instructed to implement the "four on-site" plan, ready to provide support to affected units. EVNCPC also directed hydropower plants managed and operated by the Central Power Service Company and Power Investment Joint Stock Company 3 to strictly adhere to dam safety procedures, reinforce vulnerable points, and promptly address landslide areas to ensure safe operation.

The General Director of EVNCPC emphasized: "This phase is not just about overcoming challenges, but about fighting. The entire force must be disciplined, orderly, technically proficient, timely, and resilient."
