'Skillfully' mobilizing people to participate in ensuring grid safety in Nghe An
With many flexible and creative methods, cadres, party members, union members and employees of Nghe An Electricity Company actively participate in emulation movements, production labor, improve the quality of electricity supply to customers, serving the socio-economic development of the province. During that process, the Party Committee of the company promoted the work of "skillful mass mobilization" in all areas.
Ensuring safety of power grid corridors
Cao Son is a commune about 20km east of Anh Son district center, with a long terrain and sparse population. The previous power line planning was located in people's gardens and residential land.
To minimize incidents and raise people's awareness of legal regulations to ensure power grid corridors, Anh Son Electricity staff have carried out "Smart Mass Mobilization" work through many forms of propaganda. The unit has both directly propagated and distributed leaflets to each household, and participated in community activities of villages to disseminate and provide specific instructions so that people do not violate the safety of power grid corridors.
It is worth noting that in the mountainous commune of Cao Son, when clearing the power grid corridor, although there are many trees with economic income, people are willing to voluntarily cut down the trees and clear the power grid corridor.
"When we were promoted and mobilized by Anh Son Electricity and local authorities, we realized our responsibility to protect the safety corridor of the power grid. We cut down a few fruit trees, which may reduce our income a bit, but it ensures the safety of the power grid for many households, even many residential areas" - Mr. Dang Xuan Que - a resident of village 9, Cao Son commune, Anh Son district said.
Vice Chairman of Cao Son Commune People's Committee, Mr. Luu Van Dung said: Ensuring the power grid corridor is an important task not only of the Electricity sector, but also a common responsibility of localities and each citizen. That work contributes to the safe and continuous operation of the power grid; protects the safety of life and property and contributes positively to the socio-economic development of the locality. The authorities and organizations of the commune closely coordinate with Anh Son Electricity to propagate and mobilize people through many "channels", raising general awareness to minimize power incidents.
The area managed by Quy Hop Power Company has many high hills and mountains, rivers and streams (especially the 371 and 372E15.3 lines mostly go on high hills and through streams and streams). The areas where the 35kV grid passes through have many hills, where people grow fruit trees, timber trees and crops. In particular, the 374 E15.3 line passing through the two communes of Dong Hop and Yen Hop has a situation where some households have not cooperated, deliberately planted trees in violation of the high-voltage grid corridor and have not trimmed them, leading to the risk of causing incidents.
As of early 2024, in Yen Hop commune, there are still more than 70 households with trees under and on both sides of the power grid corridor. Initially, the Electricity sector also had quite a "headache" when dealing with trees in people's gardens that affected the power grid safety corridor, because the homeowners stubbornly refused. Therefore, Quy Hop Electricity actively coordinated with local authorities, did a good job of "skillful mass mobilization", and Electricity sector officers went to each household to meet, discuss, propagate, and mobilize people to understand and highly agree to implement the policy of clearing and clearing power grid corridors.
For people in mountainous, remote areas, when there is electricity, they are very happy. Therefore, when explained, we understand that clearing the power grid corridor is very important, so we are ready to create favorable conditions for the Electricity industry to erect poles in the garden, cut trees, and pull power lines. Each household sacrifices a little bit so that electricity can reach all villages and hamlets."

Director of Quy Hop Electricity, Mr. Dau Dinh Hop said: The unit is managing more than 326 km of 35 kV medium voltage lines, nearly 27 km of 110 kV medium voltage lines and nearly 840 km of low voltage lines. In the past time, the operation of the power grid managed by Quy Hop Electricity has been relatively stable.
However, incidents caused by trees falling on power lines and violations of grid safety corridors account for the majority of incidents on the medium voltage grid, causing power outages. Therefore, in addition to managing, inspecting and preventing violations of grid safety corridors, propaganda work, protecting high voltage grid safety corridors, preventing grid incidents and minimizing electrical accidents is enhanced to all classes of people.
Nghe An Electricity Company is managing and operating a medium-voltage grid with a total length of 7,494.734 km of medium-voltage lines, with 181 transmission lines; of which, the 35kV grid is 5,374.157 km long (70 transmission lines and accounts for 71.71%); the 22kV grid is 1,758.846 km long (96 transmission lines and accounts for 23.47%); the 10kV grid is 361.731 km long (15 transmission lines and accounts for 4.83%); 7,596 transformer stations, as of June 30, 2024, there are 17,202 km of low-voltage lines of all kinds.
The staff, workers and employees of Nghe An Electricity Company have always made efforts in the management, operation and safety of the power system. This work has not only ensured the safety of continuous power supply for people and businesses, but also increased customer trust and effectively implemented the instructions of the Northern Power Corporation...
It is worth noting that in many places, violations of the safety corridor of high-voltage power grids are occurring due to illegal construction activities, installation of advertising signs, planting of perennial trees... To minimize this situation, in recent times, Nghe An Electricity Company has stepped up propaganda work to raise people's awareness of electrical safety.
At the same time, the company has implemented many drastic solutions, organizing the clearing of power grid corridors. From 2021 to August 2024, the unit has cleared 3,695 km of corridors. This activity greatly contributes to the safe and stable supply of electricity and reduces power loss, ensures the quality of electricity supply, and brings satisfaction to electricity customers.
Creating a ripple effect from "Skilled Mass Mobilization"
Operating with the motto "Electricity goes one step ahead" and determining the goal "Customer is the center", in recent years, Nghe An Electricity Company has continuously made efforts to improve the power system infrastructure in all 3 regions (coastal areas, central mountainous areas and high mountainous border areas).
The company promotes technical solutions for management; ensures safe and continuous power supply with increasingly high quality, serving socio-economic development as well as people's lives in the province.
Realizing that mass mobilization work and grassroots democracy regulations play an important role in implementing the unit's production and business tasks, every year, the Party Committee of Nghe An Power Company has developed an implementation plan with many synchronous solutions. The Party Committee of the Company requires Party committees at all levels, mass organizations, cadres, Party members, and employees to register to implement mass mobilization work content in conjunction with performing professional tasks.
The Party Committee has focused on leading and directing the proposal of many solutions to reform administrative procedures to improve the quality of management and operation activities and serve the people better and better; continue to promote the improvement of electricity business service procedures, helping customers become more convenient and satisfied.
Accordingly, the emulation movement to implement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" is associated with promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style in all fields and in accordance with the specific conditions of each unit.
Typically, Nghe An Electricity Company has implemented "Smart Mass Mobilization" to lead and direct the implementation of mass mobilization work in all areas. The unit has increased the application of new technology, improved labor productivity, promoted good initiatives of cadres, party members, and workers in implementing administrative reforms, and building cultural life in the agency.
The Party Committee of Nghe An Electricity Company also directed specialized departments to be "skillful" in propagating electricity saving in many forms, such as: Coordinating with local authorities and organizations, unions, press agencies, local information systems, implementing many forms of propaganda to influence many customers on using electricity economically and safely.
The company cooperates with local authorities to use loudspeakers in wards and communes to broadcast radio programs promoting electricity saving, which are developed by the Northern Power Corporation. At the same time, it organizes electricity saving movements in families, schools, offices, etc.
Nghe An Electricity Company has directed the Electricity Companies of districts, towns and cities to closely coordinate with customers consuming electricity from 1 million kWh/year; sign agreements to participate in shifting production loads, avoiding the system's peak hours. From there, helping people and businesses understand, change awareness and habits about using electricity more economically, safely and effectively.
Currently, Nghe An Electricity Company is managing 1,076,846 customers, of which 943,973 are household customers (accounting for 87.7%) and 132,873 are non-household customers (accounting for 12.3%).
To provide maximum support to electricity customers, Nghe An Electricity Company has expanded channels for receiving and looking up information, helping customers to directly use electricity services anytime, anywhere and continuously 24/24h. Nghe An Electricity's customer information standardization work on the CMIS3.0 program by June 30, 2024 has reached 100% of the plan assigned by the Company and the Corporation (standardizing 7,540 substations /7,540 substations).
Nghe An Electricity Company also promotes propaganda and encourages customers to pay electricity bills without cash in many forms. As of June 30, 2024, the number of customers paying without cash was 843,687/968,631 customers, accounting for 87.1% of the total number of customers; the amount of electricity paid without cash accounted for 95.49% of the total electricity bill collected in the month.
Officials, party members and workers of Nghe An Electricity always carry out "Skilled Mass Mobilization" in each specific task. The effectiveness of the "Skilled Mass Mobilization" emulation models contributes to the unit's organization of safe, continuous and stable electricity supply, ensuring electricity quality, promoting socio-economic development in Nghe An province./.
