(HBO) – Electricity demand often surges in the hot season, posing the risk of grid overload. To ensure stable power supply in the hot season, the Hoa Binh Power Company (PC Hoa Binh) has taken various measures, including encouraging efficient electricity use.

hot season.
Data from PC Hoa Binh show that although the
strong heat wave in early May lasted for only three days, the electricity
consumption in Hoa Binh province increased sharply. Notably, the power consumption
provincewide at 9:30pm on May 6 reached over 245.7 MW, up 19.9% from the same
point of time on May 4.
The northern region of Vietnam is forecast to
experience peak heat waves from May to July, and power consumption in Hoa Binh
also is predicted to continue soaring. Therefore, power supply is likely to
encounter many difficulties, leading to the need for efficient energy use
during summer months.
Facing that fact, PC Hoa Binh has devised
different plans to minimise power cuts and guarantee stable supply.
Tran Thi Ut, head of the company’s marketing
division, said one of important measures for ensuring stable power supply in
the hot season is calling for efficient energy use from customers.
Over the past months, the firm has stepped up
communications and guidance for customers on how to use electricity
efficiently, especially via its website and Facebook and Zalo fanpages. It has
also held working sessions with big customers engaging in industrial production
to persuade them to save electricity on the days with extreme heat and during
peak hours, particularly in summer months.
This will not only help customers avoid high
power bills but also contribute to the safe and stable power supply for
economic and daily activities, especially in the hot season of 2023, she
added./.
