Join hands to save electricity to overcome difficulties

Like Youth Reportedly, the Electricity Regulatory Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade) said that in the power supply in the North, hydropower accounts for a large proportion with 43,6%, but many large hydropower reservoirs are currently lacking water. Currently, only Hoa Binh hydropower reservoir has water in it and can maintain power generation until about June 12-13.6.

According to Mr. Ngo Son Hai, Deputy General Director of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), currently, the available capacity of the power system in the North is just over 17.000 MW. While the demand for electricity is over 20.000 MW. Therefore, EVN must reduce the capacity used at the highest point by about 30%. If calculating the average power output during the whole day, the amount of savings will be reduced at 6 - 10%, depending on whether the day is cool or hot.

Mr. Tran Dinh Nhan, General Director of EVN, said that from now until there is water in the hydroelectric reservoirs, EVN will try its best to ensure the safe operation of electricity. Mr. Nhan said: "In the context of demand not being able to meet enough, at some time we have to reduce electricity, EVN hopes people will understand this difficulty."

Saving should be a habit

“Currently, the problem of power cuts is a concern for many people. Every time there is electricity, people "the whole family is suddenly happy". In this hot weather situation, the sudden power failure not only affects business and production but also affects sleep, meals and production labor. Hopefully the difficult electricity situation will be resolved soon,” said reader (B) Bac Ta Hong.

Sharing the same opinion, BD Duc Doan added: “Electricity is like blood. How many businesses are affected. Affected people's lives also affect the productivity of the next day."

Talking about saving electricity, BD X.Binh Nguyen expressed: “It is not when we are having difficulty in electricity that we have to save, but we should practice saving habits at all times. Use it when needed, don't use it if you don't need it, and avoid wasting it. In the difficult situation of electricity, right in the hot season, many places are cut off power, the more I have to know how to share with everyone and save electricity."

Also talking about savings, Hoang Minh BD said: "I fully support the fact that the Prime Minister signed and promulgated a directive on June 8.6 on enhancing electricity saving in the period of 2023 - 2025 and the following years. As an employee myself, I am very interested in the sentence "Disseminate and thoroughly understand the implementation of energy saving to all employees, put the content of electricity saving into the indicator of the level of task completion, abide by internal discipline and emulate and reward every year”. I hope everyone joins hands to save electricity."

Need to increase more power supplies soon

That is the opinion of many BDs. BD Khanh Duy 5000 suggested: “In my opinion, it is advisable to create conditions for procedures and mechanisms for wind power and solar power in the country to develop in order to create jobs and jobs for people and businesses… They are rich. The more taxes you pay, the more you help the country develop. Bui Duc Minh Son also said: “Our country still has a lot of potential in wind power and solar power. A lot of areas already have wind turbines, why not connect to the national grid to increase electricity supply?"

With the same opinion, BD Vin said: "People want to install solar power for self-consumption, but there are no new guidelines. In this situation, it is advisable to continue to install solar power only for households, so it helps the state how much. My family has been using solar power for the past 4 years, and it's very good and comfortable."

BD Nguyen Duy Thanh1977 commented: “I think it is necessary to have a long-term solution, for example: investing in preferential loans for households and businesses to install solar power systems by payment method. contribution based on the revenue from the electricity output that they sell back to EVN on the national grid. Thus, people may have to invest little or no initial capital with a large amount of money, but we will gradually stabilize the source of electric energy."

Meanwhile, talking about power cuts, many BDs suggested that unexpected power cuts should be minimized, so there should be advance notice for people to actively arrange work and activities. BD Rose Phuc warned: "A sudden power failure that causes someone to be trapped in the elevator can be in danger of life, because they cannot call an ambulance, suffocate ...".
