True to the decisions of the Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the electric power industry sector is directing efforts to creating new generating capacity while making effective use of the existing capacity.

It is working out plans for keeping the electricity production going in a stable way and for increasing it by actively ensuring the normal operation of generating facilities and expanding the production capacity.

It has taken measures to boost the operation efficiency of power stations, while introducing an integrated water control system capable of ensuring scientific water control, giving hydraulic equipment and structures an overhaul in a qualitative way and establishing a real-time efficiency measuring system.

It has discussed the ways for effectively pushing ahead with the overhaul of boilers and turbine generators of thermal power stations and increasing the power output by operating equipment at full capacity.

Practical measures are being taken to reduce the loss of power in transmission and enhance the stability of power supply, while improving the grid protection capability.

Methodological approaches are being explored to improve the power factor by installing reactive power compensation devices in all sectors and units, to ensure the normal operation of the national integrated power control system and to intensify the work for saving electricity.

As a scientific and innovative operation is conducted for creating new generating capacity, the enthusiasm of the power producers is getting greater.

Employees of the Pukchang Thermal Power Complex are boosting production from the beginning of the new year.

The workers and technicians of the East Pyongyang and Chongchongang thermal power stations have carried out their daily plans without fail by increasing steam production and operating equipment as required by standard operating methods and technical regulations under the slogan "Let us support the Party with increased electricity production!"
