As a locality that suffered heavy damage, deep flooding over a large area, many places suffered landslides due to the impact of storm No. 3, Yen Bai city currently has 21 distribution transformer stations without power and over 7,000 customers affected. The city's electricity company had to stop supplying power due to the flooding incident affecting the safety of the power grid system and the lives and property of the people. In recent days, the city's electricity workers have been working hard in the rainy and windy weather to fix the power grid and restore power supply to customers. However, with the current situation, it is not known exactly when the incidents will be completely resolved.
Mr. Nguyen Dang Truong, residing in Hong Ha ward, Yen Bai city, shared that the power outage in the past few days has greatly affected our family's life. There is no electricity to light up, charge our phones, and even the spare batteries are dead, making it difficult to contact our family and rescue teams. Today, the water has completely receded, and we do not know when we will have electricity again.
The circulation of storm No. 3 also seriously affected the power grid system, causing power outages in the communes of Muong Lai, Tan Linh, Khai Trung, Tan Lap, Phan Thanh, Minh Chuan, Luc Yen district. Many electric poles were broken, fell, and tilted; many meter boxes and line accessories were damaged...
Mr. Vu Dinh Phuc, Director of Luc Yen District Electricity, said that in the face of the damage caused by storm No. 3, Luc Yen Electricity quickly segmented and zoned off to determine the incident, while mobilizing maximum human resources, vehicles, equipment, materials and implementing troubleshooting, repairs, and checking the safety status of the power grid in the areas, trying to restore power to people as soon as possible.
The impact of storm No. 3 caused flooding and landslides, thus severely damaging the power grid system in Yen Bai province. The whole province had 897 distribution transformer stations without power; hundreds of power poles, high-voltage lines, medium-voltage lines, medium-voltage poles were tilted, collapsed, broken, nearly 31,493 meters and metering systems were damaged... causing 27,909 customers to be affected by power outages.
Up to now, 48/60 medium voltage lines and 746/897 transformer stations have been restored; 88,579 customers have had electricity restored. However, due to hundreds of landslides and traffic disruptions, many areas have not been able to connect to the power supply. Yen Bai Electricity Company is looking for ways to classify, fix and make efforts to restore power to customers as soon as possible after checking the power system to ensure safety.
According to Mr. Cao Binh Dinh, Director of Yen Bai Electricity Company, the Yen Bai electricity industry has suffered more than 45 billion VND in damage due to storm No. 3. Currently, the company is mobilizing all its forces to restore the power grid, prioritizing stable power supply to hospitals and medical facilities, agencies and units that are directly directing and implementing disaster recovery work.
“The company has prepared all plans to ensure stable power supply for the people as soon as possible, especially starting this morning, when the water recedes, we are concentrating 100% of our staff to carry out the task and have also increased a number of staff in the Nghia Lo and Van Chan areas to support the Yen Bai and Tran Yen city areas,” added Mr. Cao Binh Dinh.
To prevent electrical accidents, Yen Bai Electricity Company has also issued some recommendations on electrical safety after floods. Accordingly, the electricity sector recommends that local authorities at all levels coordinate to disseminate to the people measures to ensure safety before and after areas are electrified, comply with the principles when using electricity, pay attention to measures to prevent electrical incidents and accidents so that the power grid operates safely and stably.
In the current complicated flood conditions, the Director of Yen Bai Electricity Company said that wherever the water recedes, electricity workers will come to check and ensure safety, then turn on the power immediately to promptly serve people's lives, as well as the work of directing, responding to, and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters by local authorities.
