Every staff member is a power saving propagandist

At the company, fans, lights, and air conditioning systems deliver drastic power saving measures, while natural light is made better use of.

“We planned to implement a power saving program last year and encourage our staff members to become power saving propagandists as they’re the ones who understand how to use and save electricity more than anyone else,” Ha Nam Power Company Deputy Director Tran Minh Dung said.

The local power sector staff worked longer with clients and instructed them how to use power efficient products such as compact fluorescent light bulbs and solar water heaters.

Ha Nam Power Company also launched the Power Saving Families movement at corporate level last year, with fairly positive results: 1,526 households saved 10 percent power each compared to the previous year according to the registered criteria, with 215 households being awarded Power Saving Families 2013 certificates and bonuses worth of VND58 million. The total saved power amount reached 548,832kWh, equivalent to VND 1.045 billion.

Developing power saving habits

Along with the deployment of power saving programs at corporate level, the Ha Nam Power Company also coordinated with Ha Nam’s Women’s Union, Department of Industry and Trade, Department of Education and Training to host energy savings and efficiency consultancy workshops at commune, ward and school levels. It has also encouraged more than 400 local households to install compact fluorescent light bulbs and solar water heaters.

The company asked its affiliates to work with key industrial customers such as cement and steel producers to conclude monthly 10 percent power saving agreements, saving 15.46 million kWh last year. It also saved 11,500 kWh via responding to the Earth Hour 2013.

According to Tran Minh Dung, the power saving habit should be promoted to every household through raising local power saving awareness.

This year, the Ha Nam Power Company has actively built specific power saving programs such as power saving families, agencies, businesses; power efficient public lighting; and power efficient industrial production./.
