Finding solutions to supply electricity to Phuoc Son area after floods

Faced with the complicated flood situation, Da Nang Electricity Company is focusing on researching the optimal and safest solution to quickly overcome the damage and restore power to Phuoc Son area.

Leaders of the Safety Department, Technical Department and Da Nang High Voltage Grid Enterprise discussed plans to fix the problem of the 110kV pole and the 22kV power line supplying electricity to the Phuoc Son highland area.

On the evening of October 28, Da Nang Electricity Company said: In recent days, heavy rains and floods have caused serious landslides in mountainous areas and flooding in the plains, affecting power supply operations.

Implementing the direction of Da Nang Electricity Company, the Regional Power Management Teams have proactively worked with the local Steering Committees for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control to implement the layoff of nearly 3,500 load transformer stations to ensure electrical safety.

In Tra My area, landslides caused the collapse and damage of nearly 15 medium and low voltage poles. In particular, in Phuoc Son area, landslides in Phuoc Hiep commune caused the collapse of a pole of the 110kV Phuoc Son - Dak Mi 4B line (pole 33) and the 22kV line connecting the grid from Hiep Duc commune to Phuoc Son commune; causing power outages in all communes from 2:00 p.m. on October 28.

Currently, the 110kV power line supplying power to Phuoc Son 110kV substation and the 22kV backup power line connecting to the Phuoc Son power grid are severely damaged. Meanwhile, the traffic routes leading to the site of the fallen power poles are being cut off, and the hills are at risk of further landslides, making them unsafe.

Faced with the above situation, Da Nang Electricity Company has sent staff from the Safety Department, the Technical Department and the Da Nang High Voltage Grid Enterprise to study and choose the optimal and safest solution to approach the site of the landslide to promptly repair the damage and restore power to the Phuoc Son area immediately after the rain stops.

At the same time, he proposed that the city have a plan to prioritize traffic routes to support vehicles to access the scene of the fallen pole as soon as possible to quickly fix the damage and restore power supply to stabilize the lives of people in Phuoc Son area.

Mr. Tran Nam Hung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, said that he will direct localities to actively support the electricity industry to promptly repair column 33 of the 110kV Phuoc Son - Dak Mi 4B line and the 22kV line in Phuoc Hiep commune to restore electricity to people in the Phuoc Son highland area as soon as possible.
