According to Hanoi's power system, the city's peak power (Pmax) reached 6,290 MW at 9:30 PM on May 26, 2026 – the highest level ever recorded, an increase of nearly 5% compared to the peak power in 2025 (5,992 MW). Electricity consumption on May 26 also reached 131.76 million kWh, a 7.3% increase compared to the previous year's peak. These indicators show that electricity demand in the capital is increasing sharply due to the impact of the intense hot weather.
To ensure the safe, continuous, and stable operation of the power system, EVNHANOI is temporarily suspending all previously planned power outages until 24:00 on June 1, 2026. During this period, power outages will only be implemented in cases of force majeure to address risks that directly affect the safe operation of the power system.
EVNHANOI is also strengthening its inspection and monitoring of the power grid system's operation, proactively reviewing critical equipment, and deploying on-call personnel to promptly handle any arising situations, especially at locations serving the 10th grade entrance exam and the 2026 high school graduation exam.
In addition to technical solutions, EVNHANOI recommends that customers use electricity safely, economically, and efficiently, especially during peak hours from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM (Monday to Saturday). Setting air conditioners to 26 degrees Celsius or higher, combining the use of fans, and limiting the simultaneous use of multiple high-power electrical appliances will help reduce pressure on the power system during the summer.
