Typhoon No. 3 caused several failures on the 220-500kV power grid, mainly concentrated in the Quang Ninh and Hai Phong areas. Immediately after the Typhoon passed, EVNNPT requested Power Transmission Company 1 to mobilize maximum human resources, working through the night to handle the failures caused by Typhoon No. 3 most quickly.

In addition, with the target of supplying safe, reliable, stable power and being ready to support other units, EVNNPT sent a working team under the direct direction of the Deputy Director of Power Transmission Company 1 to participate in supporting the supply and replacement of damaged equipment at the 220kV distribution yard of Uong Bi Thermal Power Plant to restore the plant's power generation.

EVNNPT has directed PTC1 to focus all resources on putting the remaining equipment into operation as soon as possible. Up to now, EVNNPT has basically completed supplying power to the load.
