The business and customer service targets for the first 6 months of 2024 all met the plan assigned by EVN. The entire Corporation has received and resolved power supply for 1,128 medium-voltage customers, the average time to resolve electricity industry procedures is 3.26 days, a decrease of 0.28 days compared to the same period in 2023, a decrease of 3.74 days compared to EVN's regulations.

The rate of customers paying electricity bills without using cash by the end of June 2024 was 88.58%, 1.45% higher than the target assigned by EVN in 2024, 2.37% higher than the same period. Revenue through the Corporation's cashless payment channel reached 97.47%. The target of providing services by electronic means and level 4 services reached 100%.

Forecasting that there will still be many hot days in July and August, the Corporation continues to call on and encourage customers to use electricity economically and reasonably through many practical actions such as: Always maintain reasonable use of air conditioning, only turn on the air conditioner when really necessary, set the temperature at 26-27 degrees Celsius or higher; do not use many high-capacity electrical devices at the same time during peak hours; invest in and use high-performance electronic and refrigeration devices, save electricity, and protect the environment.

Units within the entire EVNNPC are also required to be proactive in technical management and operation, focusing on implementing measures such as: Accelerating medium-voltage investment projects to share the load for transformers carrying high loads; energizing key projects; continuing to implement the project to improve the operational capacity of 110 kV transformer stations; strengthening control of grid work to be carried out according to plan, ensuring progress and quality to reduce power loss; strengthening operational management to reduce grid incidents.
