Nearly 170,000 more customers in the flooded areas of the Central region have had their power restored.

(Chinhphu.vn) - As of 7:00 a.m. on October 31, the entire Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) still had nearly 310,000 customers without power in 4 provinces and cities in the Central region. Compared to the same time on the morning of October 30, nearly 170,000 customers had their power restored, demonstrating the great efforts of power units in the complicated flood conditions.

Power workers urgently fix problems caused by floods

On the 110kV grid, there is currently a 110kV Dak Mil 4 - Phuoc Son line and a double-circuit customer line at Tra My - Song Tranh 2 switching station that is experiencing problems and is temporarily isolated to ensure safety. The two 110kV Phuoc Son and Nam Tra My transformer stations are still unable to resume operations due to the isolated terrain and prolonged heavy rain.

Da Nang Electricity Company is urgently checking the power grid, planning to re-supply power to the 110kV Phuoc Son station load via the 22kV 471/TTG Hiep Duc line and the 110kV Nam Tra My station load via the Nuoc Xa intermediate line.

On the medium voltage grid, EVNCPC recorded 577 incidents and layoffs due to flooding, of which 290 have been restored.

There are currently 309,404 customers without power, accounting for 6.26% of the total number of customers of EVNCPC, mainly concentrated in 4 Power Companies of Da Nang, Hue, Quang Ngai and Quang Tri, corresponding to 13.01% of the number of customers of these 4 units.

The total number of power outages at distribution substations is 2,720, accounting for 4.73% of the total EVNCPC (10.68% of the total number of stations of the 4 Power Companies mentioned above). The estimated unrecovered capacity is about 175.82 MW, equivalent to 4.82% of the maximum capacity of the total EVNCPC and 8.15% of the maximum capacity of the 4 affected Companies.

As the water receded, electricity workers worked to restore power to customers immediately.

Da Nang is the most seriously affected area with 225,081 customers (25.68%) and 2,031 distribution transformer stations (19.76%) losing power, with an estimated capacity loss of 121.2 MW (13.33%). Areas still experiencing interruptions are in 60 communes and wards.

In Hue City, there are currently 74,384 customers (21.65%) and 522 distribution substations (18.17%) without electricity, with an estimated loss of 52 MW (19.12%). The affected areas are mainly located in 25 communes and wards.

In Quang Tri province, there are still 7,312 customers (1.40%) and 53 distribution substations (0.92%) without electricity, with an estimated loss of 1.6 MW (0.37%), mainly in parts of the communes and wards of Trieu Phong, Quang Trach, Trung Thuan and Ba Don.

EVNCPC has directed its affiliated Power Companies to mobilize maximum human resources and equipment, closely coordinate with local authorities to ensure electrical safety, promptly restore power supply to customers as soon as possible, especially important loads such as hospitals, administrative agencies and isolated residential areas.

EVNCPC General Director Ngo Tan Cu said: "EVNCPC identifies the task of restoring power after floods as urgent, but must put safety first. EVNCPC requires units to maintain 24/7 on-duty, mobilize maximum human resources, vehicles and materials, proactively handle incidents, and restore power as soon as the water recedes and safety conditions are ensured.

"As the water recedes, the electrical system must be checked for safety and power must be restored to customers immediately. Within 3 to 5 days, the units must complete the restoration of the entire power grid after the flood," the EVNCPC General Director directed.
