Medicine Doctor Phan Cong Ly, the General Director of Becamex My Phuoc General Hospital in Ben Cat Town informed that the power saving scheme is implemented in safe and efficient manner by gradual replacement of lightings. Damaged lights will, for example, be replaced by new led lights for energy saving. The switchboard and air-conditioners of new installation must be branded with energy saving and inverter. Such actions help to reduce monthly costs and contribute to fire safety as the power use is under good control.

Investments to be made for quality

Currently, all 91 communes, wards and townships of the province have been constructed with power grid; 99.97% of households supplied with electricity, of which, 99.85% are rural households.

The recent site survey of provincial leaders at Bac Tan Uyen District showed that about 20 local households have not been supplied with electricity. Working with Bac Tan Uyen District, Tran Van Nam, the Secretary of Provincial Party Committee cum Chair of Provincial People’s Committee has demanded for concentrated site surveys for supplying electricity to such households upon meeting the conditions and planning conformity.

Reportedly, by October 2015, EVN SPC allocated VND 122.9 billion of capital for Binh Duong Power Company to invest to major constructions of Uyen Hung – Dat Cuoc 110kV gridline, Dat Cuoc 110kV power station (connected by November 1), Thuan Giao 110kV station, and gridline joints (to be fulfilled by the beginning of 2016) among other constructions under project preparation and feasibility researches.

According to Nguyen Thanh Nghia, the new constructions are to improve power supply efficiency and quality to local production and daily life needs while ensuring safe, continual, and stable power supply for the cause of local socio-economic development.
