The intense hot weather in the North and Central regions since mid-June has led to a significant increase in power consumption nationwide and in the North.
According to data from the National Load Dispatch Center, at noon on June 21, the national power consumption exceeded 45,000 MW for the first time. The North also set a new record of over 22,000 MW.
Compared to the average of the previous week, the capacity of the national power system on June 21 increased by more than 6,500 MW, corresponding to an increase of more than 30%. In terms of power consumption, both on a national scale and in the North, it exceeded 900 million kWh for the first time.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from June 25, the North will experience local heat again, and from June 26 onwards, intense heat will occur over a large area. In the Central region, from June 26 onwards, intense heat will continue to occur over a large area.
During hot days, it is hard to avoid consuming more electricity than usual. However, you should avoid the following mistakes that can cause a spike in your electricity bill.
To reduce the risk of local incidents on the power grid as well as in households, EVN also recommends that people, offices, and production facilities pay attention to safe and economical electricity use, especially during peak hours in the afternoon and evening, specifically from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
At the same time, pay attention to using air conditioning reasonably (set at 26-27 degrees Celsius or higher, used in combination with a fan) and avoid using multiple high-power electrical appliances simultaneously.
