Electricity demand forecast to increase by 7%
According to Decision No. 271/2024 of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province on "Approving the power supply plan for the Quang Nam province power distribution system in 2024", PC Quang Nam has developed a power supply scenario in case the national power system lacks power. In the plans, the company pays special attention to the loads on the list of important customers in 2024 according to the decision of the Provincial People's Committee; prioritizes power supply to pumping stations serving drought and salinity prevention, contributing to ensuring production and stabilizing people's lives.
PC Quang Nam forecasts that the power load capacity in the hot season of 2024 in the province will increase from April to August; the maximum day is estimated to reach 464.2 MW, an increase of 7% compared to 2023.
Currently, no transformers at 220kV, 110kV, 35kV transformer stations are overloaded. However, some transformers with high load levels such as at 110kV Ky Ha station, 35kV Tien Phuoc intermediate station have been dealt with by PC Quang Nam. The company optimizes the loop circuits to serve transmission to ensure power supply to industrial parks and clusters and localities.
PC Quang Nam continues to effectively operate distributed power sources and regulate rooftop solar power sources. At the same time, it coordinates with other units to support power supply for PC Quang Nam in case of incidents on the Quang Nam power grid.
Along with that, to meet the power supply requirements, PC Quang Nam speeds up the progress of completing investment and construction projects in 2024 as planned. At the same time, it strengthens inspection and promptly handles the risk of defects on the power grid; conducts maintenance, conversion, and timely load transfer for distribution transformer stations, overloaded lines or lines at risk of being fully loaded. The company promotes the application of technology for repairing live grids (hotline), washing insulators with high pressure water; connecting medium voltage loops, using mobile transformers, generators, etc. to avoid interrupting power supply.
Focus on electrical safety and energy saving
For the power grid to operate safely and continuously, a top priority is to ensure the safety corridor of the high-voltage power grid. This is stipulated in Decree 51/2020 of the Government. The People's Committee of Quang Nam province has also issued an official dispatch requesting relevant departments, localities and units to strengthen coordination and management measures to ensure the safety of the high-voltage power grid corridor.
Authorities at all levels, relevant sectors and people continue to pay attention to coordinating and supporting PC Quang Nam in clearing trees and removing architectural objects; not building or expanding construction works within the power grid safety corridor, preventing power grid incidents and causing power supply interruptions.
The electricity sector also requested people and customers to actively respond to the implementation of Prime Minister's Directive No. 20 on enhancing electricity saving in the period of 2023-2025 and the following years. In particular, in the face of widespread heat, customers are encouraged to use electricity safely, economically and efficiently; participate in adjusting and shifting electricity loads.
