A protracted heat wave that has been sweeping northern Vietnam since the start of the month sent power consumption in the region to a new height on July 2, the national power utility EVN has reported.
Line workers are
repairing an electrical grid.
The combined loads peaked at an all-time high of 16,665
megawatts, while the total consumption also hit a record 345 million kWh, up
roughly 12% compared with the highest levels of 2017 and beating the previous
records set on June 22.
In the capital of Hanoi, the total loads also hit a record
high of 3,987 megawatts and total usage reached 79.3 million kWh.
Most of the electricity was supplied for air-conditioners
and other cooling equipment, leading to overloads and power cuts in several
locations.
According to the national weather service, temperatures as
high as 40C and above will continue for another two to three days.
Therefore, EVN has advised its customers to use electricity
economically and avoid using high-power electrical appliances, such as
air-conditioners, electric cookers and water kettles, simultaneously.
The utility added that air-conditioners should not be set lower than 26C
in order to save energy, reduce the risk of overloads and prevent a surge in
electricity bills.
