Lao Cai proactively provides electricity for exams and peak hot season

Accordingly, from the beginning of the year, the Company has proactively developed and submitted for approval a plan to ensure power supply for 2025-2026, paying special attention to the times when the high school entrance exam takes place. Based on that plan, the affiliated units have been directed to complete all investment items for construction, renovation, and repair of the power grid, and a general review of equipment before June - the time when the 10th grade entrance exam takes place.

The company has developed a separate power supply plan for the exam, requiring each affiliated power unit to establish a detailed plan according to its area of responsibility, ensuring proactiveness and high concentration.

The coordination process witheducation departments and exam steering committees at all levels was carried out synchronously, aiming to thoroughly review all exam sites - from the areas where questions were created, printed, invigilated, and graded.

At the same time, electricity units also work with the education departments of districts, towns and cities to grasp specific information about the time and location of the exam, thereby coordinating the implementation of appropriate technical solutions, including mobilizing backup generators at some key exam locations, to ensure stable power supply in all situations.

In addition, the operation and incident handling force is arranged to be on duty 24/24 hours during the entire exam period. The system of supplies, backup equipment, and mobile vehicles are all ready to ensure timely handling of any incidents that may arise. In particular, during the exam period, the Company will not implement any power outage plans, except in cases of force majeure.

For the high school graduation exam scheduled from June 25 to 28, preparations are also being implemented early with similar requirements, closely following the direction of the Lao Cai Provincial Exam Steering Committee.

Faced with the pressure of hot weather and soaring electricity demand, Mr. Tran Thanh Duyet, Deputy Director of Lao Cai Electricity, said that the Company has accelerated the progress of investment and repair of the power grid since the beginning of the year, with the goal of completing it before April 30. At the same time, the Company has developed plans for natural disaster prevention and control, emergency response, and coordination scenarios with authorities at all levels, especially the Department of Industry and Trade - the province's standing energy unit.

For industrial customers, the Company has worked with and guided businesses to develop flexible production plans, reserve raw materials and arrange production schedules since the fourth quarter of last year. This helps to minimize the impact if power supply has to be stopped or reduced.

One of the key solutions during the peak season is to increase propaganda on the use of electricity economically and efficiently. The company has promoted information on safe and economical use of electricity through newspapers, social networks, digital platforms such as Zalo, Facebook, etc. At the same time, it has coordinated to check the use of electricity in offices, urban lighting systems, and encouraged customers to invest in rooftop solar power systems to reduce pressure on the grid.
