In the National Criteria for New Rural Development (NTM), electricity is one of the eight criteria in the socio-economic infrastructure group. Therefore, to ensure sufficient criteria and maintain electricity quality in NTM construction, Quang Tri Electricity Company (PC Quang Tri) has implemented many solutions to expand and improve electricity quality to meet all criteria, while serving well the living and production purposes of the people.

Up to now, Quang Tri province has 75/101 communes meeting the NTM standards. By the end of 2024, Quang Tri is striving to have 77/101 communes meeting the NTM standards, reaching a rate of 76.2%. Of which, 19 communes meet the advanced NTM standards, 5 communes meet the model NTM standards. Cam Lo, Vinh Linh, Trieu Phong, Hai Lang districts have been recognized as NTM districts, 43 villages and hamlets in especially difficult communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas have met the NTM village standards. The province's goal is to have 81 communes meeting the NTM standards by 2025, accounting for a rate of 80%.
It must be affirmed that to achieve encouraging results in building new rural areas, there is a positive and effective contribution from the Quang Tri electricity sector. Closely following the goals and orientations of the province and the sector in each specific period, PC Quang Tri has coordinated with localities and related sectors to review the annual electricity demand to have a plan to upgrade and expand the electricity supply network. Mobilize capital sources to renovate, upgrade and build new grid infrastructure. Strengthen propaganda, dissemination and implementation of electricity saving to improve the efficiency of electricity use in production, business and consumption of households.
In order to continuously innovate and improve the quality of electricity, since Cam Lo district implemented the new rural construction program, PC Quang Tri has focused on renovating and upgrading the medium and low voltage power grid to meet the needs of production development and people's daily life and ensure safe and stable operation of the power grid.
In 2020-2022, PC Quang Tri replaced 3,409 km of 0.4 kV lines and 7,152 km of 22 kV lines along with accompanying accessories; repaired 31 load transformer stations, built 5 new transformer stations with a capacity of 600 kVA, 5 transformer stations with a capacity of 560 kVA, 7 transformer stations with a capacity of 1,450 kVA; invested in building 1,693 km of 0.4 kV lines, 292 km of 22 kV lines in Cam Lo district.
Up to now, 100% of households in Cam Lo district have used the national grid. Thanks to the construction of the new rural area, the appearance of the rural areas of Cam Lo district has changed significantly, in which the electricity criteria have made an important contribution. Walking on the village roads where there is a lighting system, we can see the full value of the electrical works. From the movement of "Lighting up the countryside roads" and building "Model residential areas", Cam Lo district has built 273km of lighting lines with more than 3,200 lamp posts and 5,460 light bulbs. Electricity has reached every corner of the village, bringing many conveniences to people's lives.
Vice Chairman of Cam Lo District People's Committee Tran Hoai Linh affirmed: "In recent years, Cam Lo district's economy has made great strides thanks to the important contribution of the electricity sector. In industrial clusters, the electricity sector has invested in power systems for operational projects; the power supply for more than 10 pumping stations meets the irrigation water demand for agricultural production. In particular, Cam Lo's achievement as a new rural district is the result of the efforts of all levels, sectors and people, but it is necessary to acknowledge the positive and effective contributions of PC Quang Tri".
After nearly 14 years, with high determination and the drastic participation of the entire political system, Vinh Linh district has mobilized the combined strength to build a new rural area and was recognized as a new rural district in August 2024. Up to now, the whole district has 15/15 communes meeting new rural standards; 3 communes meeting advanced new rural standards; 3/3 towns meeting civilized urban criteria; 59 model new rural villages and 6 villages/hamlets meeting new rural standards. Socio-economic infrastructure has been completed, the rural appearance has improved a lot. Average income per capita has increased continuously over the years. The multidimensional poverty rate of new rural criteria in the whole district is 2.71%, of which the rural area is 2.70%. This result has a significant contribution from the electricity sector.
According to Director of Vinh Linh Electricity Phan Thanh Vinh, immediately after the program of building new rural areas was implemented, Vinh Linh Electricity developed plans and proposed PC Quang Tri to upgrade and renovate the power grid in rural areas in the area, renovate and build 390 km of new low-voltage lines in 19 rural communes; coordinate with associations, unions and localities to implement the program "Lighting up the countryside roads" for most rural roads in the communes.
Promoting the achieved results, Vinh Linh Power continues to promote emulation movements to complete production and business plans, implement measures to reduce power loss and improve power supply reliability, coordinate with related units to speed up the survey progress to establish plans to add wires at transformer stations with high losses, build a number of transformer stations in concentrated production areas... contributing to promoting the socio-economic development of Vinh Linh district.
By mobilizing all resources to prioritize investment in upgrading the power grid infrastructure in localities building new rural areas, PC Quang Tri's positive and effective contribution helps Quang Tri province achieve its goals and plans for building new rural areas.
