Electricity consumption across the city on June 3 was 78,171 million kWh; June 4-6 is 81,076 million kWh; on 5-6 is 80,387 million kWh; June 6 is 75,840 million kWh.
According to EVNHANOI, the cumulative average electricity consumption of June 2020 as of June 6 is 77,251 million kWh/day, up 23% compared to the average of May 2020.
Currently, the prolonged hot weather situation has caused the electricity consumption to increase continuously, mainly due to the strong increase in demand for cooling equipment such as air conditioners.
According to calculations by electrical engineering experts, during prolonged hot weather, the electricity consumed by the air conditioner alone can account for 60-65% of the total amount of electricity consumed.
To ensure safe operation of equipment and save electricity use, technical experts recommend that users use a combined fan when turning on the air conditioner set at 26-27 degrees Celsius or higher, just to ensure enough. cool, while significantly reducing power consumption.
With hot weather continuing in the summer, EVNHANOI recommends that agencies, offices, production places and people continue to pay attention to safe and economical use of electricity.
