On July 29, Hanoi Electricity Corporation (EVNHANOI) said that due to the impact of severe hot weather, electricity consumption across the city continuously increased during the week from July 21 to 27.
Notably, on July 27, Hanoi recorded a new record for the largest daily electricity consumption with over 101 million kWh, exceeding nearly 1 million kWh compared to the highest daily electricity consumption in 2022.
Hanoi has a new record for electricity consumption on July 27.
According to EVNHANOI, the amount of electricity consumed in daily life in the city has increased significantly, mainly due to the need to use many cooling devices such as air conditioners, fans, refrigerators, etc. The hot weather also significantly affects the operation and reduces the efficiency of electrical equipment.
EVNHANOI recommends that customers, offices and production facilities join hands to use electricity economically and effectively, turn off unnecessary electrical equipment and limit the use of high-capacity equipment during peak electricity consumption hours from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 19:00 to 23:00 every day; use air conditioning reasonably, set at 26 - 27°C or higher, combined with fans.
EVNHANOI also recommends that customers should choose and use electrical equipment labeled with energy saving labels according to regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade; regularly clean and maintain equipment to ensure stable operation, increase longevity and save electricity.
'Promoting' progress in overcoming thermal power plant problems
According to information from the Electricity Regulatory Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade), in the week from July 21 to 27, the temperature in the North increased sharply again after a week of cooling down, causing the load (electricity consumption demand) to reach a maximum output of 477.9 million kWh per day, 14.3 million kWh higher than the previous week; the maximum capacity reached 23,568 MW, 1,208 MW higher than the previous week.
Last week, the total electricity output of the entire national power system, including imported electricity, reached over 5.8 billion kWh, with an average daily output of 831.1 million kWh. Of which, hydropower output reached over 1,576 million kWh, accounting for 27.1% of the total output and increasing by 2.9% compared to the previous week.
According to the Energy Regulatory Authority, although there was storm No. 1 last week, the amount of water flowing into hydroelectric reservoirs did not fluctuate much compared to the period before the storm. In particular, the water flow of Hoa Binh hydroelectric reservoir fluctuated a lot in the direction of increasing sharply due to the machine flow of Son La Hydroelectric Plant. According to the current water level, hydroelectric reservoirs in the North continue to operate reasonably to maintain the water level before the flood according to the inter-reservoir operation process, avoiding excess discharge.
The Electricity Regulatory Authority also noted that coal supply has improved significantly in the past week, with most coal-fired thermal power plants having sufficient inventories. Currently, the total number of long-term incidents of coal-fired thermal power plants that have not been resolved is 1,440 MW, and short-term incidents are 850 MW.
Regarding the situation of overcoming the problems of thermal power plants, on July 26, the working group of the Ministry of Industry and Trade continued to inspect and review the situation of handling problems of thermal power plants in the Northern region. In particular, the group worked with An Khanh and Cao Ngan thermal power plants to urge investors to speed up the repair progress of the units, and soon put them back into operation to generate electricity.
