23/04/2013

Taking power-savings a key and long-term task, early in 2013, Quang Binh PC has laid out plans and implemented many solutions under the instruction from Quang Binh People’s Committee and EVNCPC.

With the slogans of "Saving electricity is saving the families’ budgets and national resources" and "Saving electricity is sustainable environmental protection for the future", in the mid-month of March 2013, Quang Binh PC boosted widespread propaganda for power-savings in the area.

On March 19 – 20, Quang Binh PC started “Propaganda for power-savings and the Earth Hour 2013” program. After a launching ceremony, many cars and motorbikes carrying banners, flags dispersed to many areas such as Minh Hoa, Tuyen Hoa, Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Dong Hoi, Quang Ninh, Le Thuy to promote for power-savings and the Earth Hour.

On this occasion, the company delivered tens of thousands of leaflets to its subsidiaries and then to the local customers. Besides promoting electricity-savings, the leaflets also provided instructions to use electrical appliances such as air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators, electric fans, washing machines safely and efficiently, encouraged the use of energy-saving-labeled electrical appliances, compacts instead of incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps thin instead of old fluorescent lamps.

Quang Binh PC sent out the message of “You and I, together we act, together we turn off light from 8:30 pm on March 23” for the Earth Hour 2013, calling enterprises, society organizations and the community to participate.

In February, Quang Binh PC in collaboration with the Department of Industry and Trade set up and submitted a list of important additional charges in the province to the People’s Committee for approval. The company regularly coordinates with Quang Binh Newspaper, Quang Binh Radio and Television to boost power-savings, raise the customers’ awareness.

The company also directed its subsidiaries to work with critical additional producers having the average outcome of over 100,000 kWh/month to inform about the power supply situation, discuss measures to adjust appropriate production plans when reduction and sign a commitment to power-savings in 2013.

Since early this year, Quang Binh PC and its subsidiaries have organized Customer Conferences to inform about the difficulty in supplying power. Under the plan, since March, the company has work with the Department of Education and Training to promote electricity-savings in schools, organized “Power-savings Quiz Competition”.

The leading boards of Quang Trach Power Headquarters often remind staff of strictly observing power-savings regulations, displaying energy-efficient products for customers to be more recognizable. “We used many incandescent bulbs in my house for a long time. When I came across the display cabinet in Quang Trach Power Headquarters, I immediately came to my husband talking about using energy-saving bulbs. My family haven’t known that we wasted electricity”, said Ms Nguyen Thi Nhung, a customer.

Quang Ninh, Le Thuy, Tuyen Hoa, Minh Hoa Power Headquarters also have implemented quite a lot of practical, easy-to understand methods of propaganda.

In recent years, customers in Quang Binh are more aware of saving electricity. For some businesses, electricity costs are included in the cost of products so they have no options but applying energy-saving measures. For example, many enterprises took more advantage of sunlight, gradually turning to equipments with less energy loss.
