In recent days, on Facebook, there have been a number of posts about the sudden increase in electricity bills in June, including in Ninh Binh. In this situation, the Director of Ninh Binh Electricity Company has directed relevant units to urgently check, verify, clarify, respond and handle the situation thoroughly, not allowing the formation of public opinion hotspots. In just the first week of July, the Company's professional units have isolated and contacted 29 Facebook account owners to grasp the actual situation, conduct reviews and inspections; answer questions, clarify the causes, from which the account owners have understood and voluntarily removed the posts. For some posts on community groups, using fake accounts whose owners have not been found, the Company is contacting and recommending competent authorities to direct and coordinate the resolution.
At the same time, the reception and resolution of customer complaints and feedback through the customer relationship management (CRM) system related to high electricity bills are also handled promptly, ensuring compliance with the time limit prescribed by Vietnam Electricity Group. In particular, the Company Director assigns the Head of the Regional Electricity Management Team to directly direct the reception and resolution of customer complaints and feedback related to high electricity bills. In complicated cases, the Company requests a representative of the Team's Board of Directors or an officer with appropriate expertise and skills to directly discuss and explain to the customer. The Head of the Regional Electricity Management Team is responsible to the Company for the results of handling these complaints.
In the first 10 days of July 2025, the Company received over 500 requests and recommendations from customers regarding "High electricity bills" reflected through CRM.

During the processing process, the unit provided full information on meter readings, electricity consumption during the period, clearly explained how to calculate the bill, the reasons for the high electricity bill, the customers understood and had no further recommendations. In some cases where customers requested meter inspection, the management unit worked with the customers to make a record, remove the meter for inspection according to regulations. At the same time, customers were instructed to use electricity safely, economically and effectively.
To minimize the increase in electricity bills due to the unusual developments of extreme weather conditions, right from the beginning of the hot season, Ninh Binh Electricity Company has increased the campaign and propaganda on electricity saving through social networking sites such as Zalo, Facebook, and other communication channels of the Electricity industry.
