(HBO) – Villages and hamlets in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh have been connected to the national power grid, serving their local people's lives and production and helping them overcome poverty and build new-style rural areas.
Attention is given to upgrading rural
power infrastructure. The photo is taken in Vinh Dong commune, Kim Boi

Efforts to increase access to the
national power grid
About five years ago, the electricity system in
Hoa Binh faced many difficulties, with many areas having yet to connect to the
national power grid. Weak power was showed in almost all localities,
particularly remote ones in the districts of Kim Boi, Lac Son, Tan Lac, and Da
Bac.
Focusing on improving power system in
difficult areas
Luong Van Phuong, Deputy Director of Hoa Binh
EVN, said 100 percent of people in the province have to date got access to the
national power grid. Identifying upgrading the electricity network as a key to
socio-economic growth, the company has made efforts to mobilise resources for
investment in the infrastructure, he added.
In 2021, it built 77 new transformer stations
across the province. Since 2016, nearly 500 transformer stations have been set
up, reducing power loss in low voltage lines to less than 9 percent. The company plans to install 100 more stations
in rural areas next year.
In the coming time, the focus on projects to
prevent overload for the rural power grid will be the premise for many
disadvantaged areas to have the opportunity to overcome poverty and step up
new-style rural building./.
