(Baonghean.vn) - According to the plan, from now until the 18th Provincial Party Congress, the central areas of the communes of Muong Long, My Ly, Pha Danh, Na Loi (Ky Son district), and Chau Phong (Quy Chau district) will be connected to the electricity grid. Therefore, when we visited Chau Phong commune these days, we saw joy clearly visible on the faces of the people there. For them, this is a long-held dream.
 |
| Currently, the power line system in Chau Phong commune has been completed and is awaiting energization. |
 |
| Commune officials inspect the newly installed electricity meter system. |
 |
| The residents were extremely happy when electricity was finally brought to each household. |
 |
| Many households have purchased additional machinery to support production. According to Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoan, owner of a mechanical workshop in Moi Hamlet: For a long time, due to the lack of electricity, he had to spend 3 million VND per month on fuel to run the machines. However, because the diesel power supply was unstable, the machines broke down quickly. Now that he knows electricity will be connected soon, Mr. Hoan has invested in additional cutting machines to expand production. |
 |
| Having electricity is not only a condition for expanding businesses and developing the economy, but many households in Chau Hoan are also taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase additional equipment to improve their quality of life. Mr. Giang, the owner of an electronics store in the center of Chau Phong commune, said: "Thanks to the upcoming electricity supply, people's purchasing power has increased. In just the past week, my wife and I have imported two shipments of goods to meet demand." |
 |
| Mr. Luong Van Luat, Secretary of the Party Branch of Toong 2 village, said: "The village cultural center is newly built, so we don't have enough funds to fully invest in equipment yet, but the hamlet is prioritizing purchasing loudspeakers to disseminate information to the villagers." |
 |
| Unable to express his joy and excitement, Quang Van Dung, deputy head of the Chau Phong commune health station, said: "To be honest with you, for a long time, vaccines had to be stored in refrigerators powered by a water turbine, which was very unreliable. The vaccine storage refrigerator was provided in 2009, but we had to leave it in storage because there was no electricity to use it. Now that we have electricity, what more could we ask for..." |
