In 2021, Mr. Tran Van Truc's family in Cuu Quoc village, Tung Loc commune, purchased a plot of land in the Bai Ran area, in Lang Khang village - bordering Cuu Quoc village - developed by the People's Committee of Thuan Thien commune, Can Loc district (formerly), with the hope of building a house and establishing a stable life. However, to date, the infrastructure in this area remains incomplete, especially the electricity grid.
In early 2026, to obtain electricity for house construction, Mr. Truc's family was forced to draw power lines from another area. This power line, hundreds of meters long, was strung on makeshift bamboo and wooden stakes erected along the road. Although aware of the risks involved in this method, Mr. Truc stated that it was the only solution given the lack of electricity grid infrastructure in the residential area.
Mr. Tran Van Truc shared: “My family is hoping for an investment in a power grid system soon so we can build our house and live comfortably in the future. Having to use temporary power lines is both inconvenient and worrying due to safety risks, especially during the upcoming rainy and stormy season.”
It is known that in the Bai Ran area, Lang Khang village, there are still 94 households that have purchased land but have not yet received investment in electricity infrastructure. To have electricity, many households have to independently run power lines from points hundreds of meters away.
Observations in this area show that many temporary power poles made of bamboo and wood have been erected along the local roads. Power lines are strung haphazardly, with some points only about 1.5 meters above the ground. During the rainy season, these temporary power lines pose an even greater safety risk, potentially leading to short circuits, electrical accidents, and threatening people's lives.
The electricity shortage is not limited to the Bai Ran area; it also affects Cuu Quoc village. According to local statistics, 55 households in the village still lack access to the national power grid. Therefore, to obtain electricity for daily use, many households are forced to run temporary power lines through barbed wire fences or across the land of other households, posing a safety risk.
Mr. Ho Phuc Lam, head of Cuu Quoc village, said: “Our people have repeatedly complained and petitioned the authorities at all levels about investing in electricity infrastructure. However, to date, this situation has not been completely resolved, causing difficulties in the lives of many households.”
According to Mr. Lam, investing in the power grid system early on not only meets essential living needs but also creates conditions for people to develop the local economy .
Mr. Tran Van Dai, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tung Loc commune, said: "The locality is reviewing the current state of infrastructure in residential areas and simultaneously proposing to higher authorities and the electricity sector to gradually invest in the electricity system to meet the legitimate needs of the people."
