"Telecommunication and electricity saving
day" by EVN Hanoi was held in Ha Noi and its suburban districts (Dong Anh,
Thanh Tri, Chuong My,...) in order to introduce energy saving products and
business models. Households are encouraged to use energy efficiency appliances such
as compact lighting bulbs, solar power water heaters and reduce electricity
consumption during peak hours.
EVN Hanoi has discussed energy saving with its
prime customers consuming more than 3 million kwh per year or having capacity of
greater than 500kW. Thang Long, Quang Minh and Noi Bai industrial zones agree
to EVN Hanoi not to exceed the amounts of consumption stated on electricity
supply contracts, avoid overloads and cut from 5 to 10% of its energy
consumption demand, equivalent to about 3302.43 to 6603.86 MWh.
Businesses are asked to adjust their
production plan or use backup generators to ensure their electricity demand.
Hanoi Public Lighting Company is committed to operating
Hanoi's urban lighting system efficiently. The automatic lighting
system has been adjusted to automatically turn on at 18:30, off at 5:00, cut
lighting amount by 30 to 50%. Companies having large billboards and advertising
panels along the main traffic routes are required to reduce the number of
lights and turn off lights after 22 hours.
EVN Hanoi appreciated the cooperative response from enterprises to its power saving policy. Customers also actively proposed energy efficiency solutions themselves. With these measures, Hanoi can save about 700,000 kWh per day.
