EVNCPC spreads the love of the electricity industry to remote islands

Spreading the love of the electricity industry to remote islands

In the days leading up to the Lunar New Year of At Ty 2025, I had the opportunity to join a working delegation from Naval Region 3 to visit and wish a happy new year to officers, soldiers, and people on the outpost islands of the Fatherland - Ly Son and Con Co islands. During that trip, I had the opportunity to meet the "electricians" from the Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) - not only doing a good job of supplying electricity, EVNCPC's electricians also fulfilled their social responsibilities as a state-owned enterprise in the border and island areas, contributing to spreading the love and culture of the electricity industry to localities with many difficulties.

Amidst the sound of the waves lapping against the hull, the KN 390 ship of Naval Region 3 swayed and tilted with each wave, blending with the sound of the waves and the howling wind. Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh - Deputy Head of the Party Committee's Propaganda Department, Secretary of the EVNCPC Youth Union said: As an enterprise with the political mission of ensuring electricity production and trading in 13 provinces of the Central Highlands from Quang Binh to Khanh Hoa and from Kon Tum to Dak Nong, every year, the corporation launches social security programs.

Based on the culture of EVN, EVNCPC and the facilities signed by the Corporation's Trade Union and EVNCPC's General Director, from the beginning of the year, the Corporation has implemented gift giving to poor households in 13 provinces and cities - where the Corporation and its member units are "stationed".

“In 2024, in response to the call to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses and the program to plant 1 billion trees, the Corporation supported the construction of dozens of gratitude houses and organized tree planting in Quang Nam. Especially every time Tet comes, EVNCPC organizes delegations to visit and give gifts to people with meritorious services to the revolution at the Center for Care of People with Meritorious Services in Da Nang City and Quang Nam Province,” said Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh.

With the desire to accompany and share the difficulties and hardships, educate ideology, share "a common heart towards the borders and islands of the Fatherland", but every year when Tet comes, EVNCPC, together with officers and soldiers of Naval Region 3, participates in the Tet greeting program on the outpost islands of Ly Son and Con Co. In particular, the Youth Union in 2024 also organizes a gift-giving program for border guards and residents on Nhon Chau island, Binh Dinh province.

“This is an activity to bring the sentiments of the electricity industry to cadres, soldiers, people on islands as well as households with difficult circumstances, families with meritorious services, youth volunteers, veterans… ” - Mr. Tuan Anh shared.

Promote the spirit of solidarity, mutual love and support

In addition to the production and business tasks, ensuring safe, continuous and reliable electricity supply for socio-economic development, national security and defense, and people's lives in 13 provinces and cities in the Central Highlands, EVNCPC always pays attention to social security work.

During the process of “following the electricity industry”, I had the opportunity to meet and accompany electricians on many “roads” of the country. Each profession has its own hardships and difficulties, but with the electricity industry, it is even more evident through works and projects through “power lines” stretching from North to South, from East to West. In my opinion, the nature of the electricity industry is hard, difficult, even life-threatening, but the solidarity and support of colleagues is always the motivation for electricians to complete the assigned work well, thereby bringing the best service to people and customers using electricity.

That is deeply demonstrated through the 500kV line 3 project and the same with EVNCPC.

In 2024, in addition to performing professional tasks and social security activities in the area, during the peak period of construction of the 500kV line circuit 3 (Quang Trach - Pho Noi), EVNCPC sent 14 shock teams with a total of 463 engineers and workers to support the construction of the line. From May 28 to July 30, 2024, after more than 2 months of working under all weather conditions in mountainous areas of the 3 provinces of Ha Tinh, Nghe An and Thanh Hoa, EVNCPC's shock force overcame numerous difficulties with 16,133 working days and over 55,000 overtime hours, completing a huge amount of work, ensuring quality: erecting 24 columns with a total steel mass of 2,242 tons, column heights from 50 to 82 meters, each column mass at each location from 50 tons to 332 tons.

“Thanks to solidarity, sharing, mutual support and love, EVNCPC promptly shared and accompanied the Northern Power Corporation and Hanoi Power Corporation to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 (Yagi, September 2024). EVNCPC promptly visited, supported and sent shock teams of 273 engineers and workers from 6 Power Companies under the Corporation to simultaneously participate in overcoming the power grid problems after the storm, restoring power supply, which was recognized and highly appreciated by local leaders and people, ” affirmed Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh.

In 2025, the Central Power Corporation will celebrate 50 years of construction and development (October 7, 1975 - October 7, 2025). Towards this event, the Corporation will carry out many practical and meaningful activities towards the community: Supporting the construction of 70 gratitude houses for policy families, poor households, and those in need of housing with a total value of 4.9 billion VND; completing the construction and installing welcome signs for 50 power projects, combining with the implementation of social security activities in project areas; organizing extensive emulation movements in all areas of work to promote the implementation of plan targets, comprehensively completing assigned tasks and achieving new heights in production, business, investment and construction, ensuring safe and continuous electricity supply to serve socio-economic development, national security and defense and people's lives in the Central Highlands region.

In 2023, with the welfare fund, production and business, mutual support fund and voluntary contributions of more than 11,000 officers and employees, EVNCPC has spent more than 23.6 billion VND on social security activities in the area. Of which, supporting the construction of 79 gratitude houses and solidarity houses for the poor with a budget of 4.73 billion VND; supporting the overcoming of natural disaster consequences with more than 8.8 billion VND; implementing 14 projects to light up rural roads and many other social security activities.
