Proactively ensure electrical safety during storm season

Determining that the rainy and stormy season has a high potential risk of incidents affecting the power grid and electrical accidents, the Electricity sector proactively coordinates with relevant agencies and localities to implement proactive measures and solutions to ensure a safe, stable and continuous power system, minimizing electrical incidents, and meeting the electricity supply needs for daily life and production in the area.

The electricity industry proactively deploys professional measures to ensure electrical safety during the storm season.

Proactive professional solutions

According to Long An Electricity Company, in the context of increasingly obvious climate change, this year's storm season is forecast to have more extreme and complicated factors than previous years: strong storms, localized heavy rain , and rapidly changing weather causing difficulties in operating the power grid.

Faced with the above situation, the Electricity industry in general and the unit in particular have identified the task of ensuring electrical safety during the rainy and stormy season as a priority task, not only for the continuity of electricity supply but also to protect the lives and property of people and the community. Right from the beginning of the year, the Company issued a plan to prevent and combat natural disasters, comprehensively inspect the power grid system in the area, especially in vulnerable areas, low-lying areas, riverside areas, densely populated areas, etc. The work has been comprehensively deployed and completed according to plan.

According to forecasts, there is a possibility of unusual and extreme weather, so from the beginning of the year, Duc Hoa Power Company proactively checked the power grid periodically according to regulations, performed maintenance, repair, and testing of electrical equipment and power grid, implemented solutions to prevent and combat incidents, and cleared trees to clear the safety corridor of the high-voltage power grid.

In addition, the Electricity sector deploys and works directly with electricity users to implement solutions to prevent and combat incidents, contact customers to sign maintenance contracts to ensure the grid operates stably and continuously. At the same time, local electricity also deploys a number of solutions to limit risks and grid insecurity caused by external factors and promotes propaganda solutions so that electricity users understand and grasp regulations on electrical safety, especially during the rainy and stormy season.

According to Deputy Director in charge of technical affairs of Duc Hoa Power Company - Dinh Van Thang, in order to cope with unusual weather developments during the rainy and stormy season, the power company has completed the command board for natural disaster prevention and control, ready to be on duty 24/24 hours, ensuring continuous power supply to customers. If an incident occurs, the power company will mobilize forces to quickly fix it, providing electricity to customers as soon as possible.

Duc Hue Electricity has proactively organized and implemented solutions to operate the power grid safely and stably, minimizing electrical incidents. In addition to implementing professional measures, local electricity also focuses on coordinating with localities to inspect power lines behind electricity meters and recommending customers to immediately fix unsafe lines to avoid risks, especially during the rainy and stormy season. The unit always fully complies with the proposed measures, strictly follows the instructions of superiors, contributes to the good operation of the power grid and gradually improves the responsibility of customers in this matter.

Director of Duc Hue Electricity - Nguyen Minh Thien said: The unit fully implements professional measures to proactively respond during the rainy and stormy season. In addition to direct propaganda, the electricity company coordinates with radio stations to promote propaganda on high-voltage power grid corridor safety, measures to prevent electrical accidents, measures to use electrical equipment safely in the home, etc. to help customers improve their understanding of electricity use.

Promote effective propaganda

Duc Hue Electricity promotes direct communication to electricity users to grasp and implement solutions for safe electricity use during the rainy and stormy season.

In addition to technical solutions, the Electricity sector pays special attention to propaganda on electrical safety during the storm season to people, especially in rural areas, remote areas. Electricity innovates propaganda forms, bringing messages to every household, combining hanging billboards and posters at commune People's Committees, schools, and traditional markets; propaganda via social networks, grassroots radio systems, leaflets sent to every household, especially in rural areas; integrating electrical safety content into activities of residential groups, Farmers' Associations, Youth Unions, etc.

Thanks to that, the messages: "Do not climb electric poles, do not repair electric wires without permission, do not leave electrical equipment on wet ground, do not move houses under high voltage power lines" have penetrated deeper into people's consciousness. They proactively reflect, support, and report when they discover abnormalities such as sagging electric wires, tilted poles, and trees falling into the power grid.

According to Mr. Tran Van Dong (Hamlet 2, My Quy Tay Commune, Duc Hue District, Long An Province), thanks to the propaganda and guidance of the locality and the Electricity sector, we clearly understand our role in proactively ensuring safety when using electricity, especially during the rainy and stormy season. The work of checking the family's electric meter line has been carried out, repaired promptly, and dangerous equipment has been replaced,... Hopefully this rainy and stormy season, the power grid will operate well, stably and continuously.

On the other hand, many residential areas have proactively trimmed trees near power lines, protected the line corridor, invited the power company to support safety monitoring; integrated propaganda content into the activities of the organization. At the same time, the coordination with local authorities to inspect and handle unsafe power lines behind the meter has been promoted,...

This shows that propaganda work has been transformed into practical action, people's awareness is increasingly raised, many households proactively reported to the Electricity Department when discovering trees falling on wires, damaged equipment, helping to handle timely, demonstrating a very good spirit of coordination.

According to Director of Long An Power Company - Le Hoang Oanh, in preparing to respond to the storm season, the Electricity sector has been proactive early, requiring affiliated units to organize a comprehensive inspection of the power system, handle defects; reinforce and replace equipment to improve the stability of the power grid system.

At the same time, the Electricity industry organized a standby force, arranged enough spare materials, rescue equipment, promptly handled incidents,... to be ready to quickly overcome damage, restore power supply for daily life and production in the area,... All demonstrated the proactiveness, synchronous coordination and high sense of responsibility in the preparation work of the entire unit. Thanks to those efforts, up to now, the entire power grid in the area has been inspected and reinforced to a safe level, ready to serve customers during the rainy and stormy season.

“It can be said that the preparation for storm prevention and control is a combined effort between the Electricity industry and the community. In the coming time, we will continue to maintain inspections, be on duty 24/7, improve the level of initiative, modernize grid monitoring, and coordinate more closely with commune/ward authorities in inspecting, detecting and handling violations of electrical safety corridors.

In particular, the electricity sector continues to innovate propaganda work, bringing electrical safety content to each specific target group to maximize the proposed effectiveness. Careful and synchronous preparation work from materials, techniques, human resources to communication, along with the coordination of people and local authorities, has been contributing to protecting electrical safety during the rainy and stormy season, towards the ultimate goal of "not allowing electrical accidents to occur among the people - not allowing power supply interruptions due to subjective causes" - Mr. Le Hoang Oanh emphasized./.
