Economy 2024.6.24.


A socialist emulation for saving electricity by dint of science and technology is now getting brisk among the power transmission and distribution units in the DPRK.

The emulation started in March, with the attendance of more than 170 provincial, city and county power transmission and distribution stations. The number of proposals submitted to it is more than 400 up to now.

The Pyongyang Municipal Power Transmission and Distribution Station has pushed ahead with the work to improve the capacity of transformers, ensure rational distribution of power capacitor by mathematical modeling, reduce the loss of electricity in transmission by introducing automatic power factor compensator and ensure the power factor of electric power system at 95 percent.

Officials and workers of the power transmission and distribution units in South Hamgyong Province have arranged power distribution lines in the province in a rational way and installed tens of comprehensive watt-hour meters to save electricity.

Similar work has been conducted at power transmission and distribution stations in Kangwon, North and South Phyongan and South Hwanghae provinces.
