Tens of billions of dong to ensure power supply for fishing

(Baonghean.vn) - To ensure electricity supply for individuals and businesses in the coastal areas of Hoang Mai town and Quynh Luu district, Quynh Luu electricity has invested tens of billions of VND to improve the service quality of the electricity industry.

Mr. Le Hoi Hung's ice production facility in Quynh Lap supplies 25,000 ice cubes to ships every month, costing 140 million VND in electricity.

Mr. Le Hoi Hung's ice production facility is located right next to Lach Con fishing wharf, Quynh Lap commune, Hoang Mai town. With a synchronized ice production line system including a factory, cold storage, storage tank and 2 ice machines, the grinder produces 25,000 ice blocks per month. From the water transfer system, into the tray to the finished ice block stored in the freezer, all are supported by electric machines.

Mr. Hung said that more than a year ago, the electricity was always overloaded, unable to meet the production needs of the factory, and there were frequent power outages, not only interrupting production, but also greatly affecting the life of the machines during operation. Currently, the power source has been increased, the electricity is strong, helping production to run smoothly.

“My family uses about 70,000 kWh of electricity each month, and the cost alone is about 140 million VND. The electricity is stable, so I have also focused on investing in modern machinery for production. Electricity officials periodically come to check the input and output power systems, so I feel very secure.”

Currently, each cold storage warehouse, depending on the capacity of seafood, consumes an equivalent amount of electricity, at least 5-10 million, and for large households, it can be up to 40-50 million per month. Large establishments such as Mr. Hung's household in Quynh Lap and Mr. Lai's household in Quynh Phuong, spend several hundred million VND on electricity each month.

The entire Hoang Mai town and Quynh Luu district currently have over 2,000 vessels, mainly for offshore fishing. Fishing logistics in coastal areas such as Quynh Nghia, Quynh Thuan, Quynh Long, Tien Thuy, Quynh Di, Quynh Phuong and Quynh Lap are strongly developed. To supply raw materials for offshore fishing vessels, currently the sea areas and estuaries of Hoang Mai and Quynh Luu have over 60 petroleum trading establishments, nearly 90 ice production establishments, 20 joint stock companies, limited liability companies, 100 cold storages, dozens of shipbuilding and mechanical establishments and nearly 2,000 private processing establishments participating in seafood processing.

In localities such as Quynh Lap, Quynh Phuong, Tien Thuy, Quynh Long... each locality consumes from 1 - 3 million kWh of electricity for production activities of fishing logistics services, the cost of paying for the electricity industry in coastal areas is up to tens of billions of VND.

Electrical technicians check electrical systems at production facilities to ensure safety.

Mr. Le Dac Tu - Deputy Director of Quynh Luu Electricity said that after receiving the low voltage power system, the electricity industry has invested tens of billions of VND to upgrade and renovate the power line system, and intersperse transformer stations to avoid overload in some areas with special loads, especially for the production of fishing logistics.

In addition, through activities to quickly fix problems, periodically check transformer stations, low-voltage and medium-voltage lines, safety corridors, customer care, etc., incidents occurring during the use of electricity sources have been limited, so that people and businesses can confidently invest in machinery and equipment for production.
