Hanoi Electricity Corporation (EVNHANOI) has announced the city's electricity consumption situation in June.
Accordingly, June 2025 recorded a clear increase in temperature in Hanoi, with the average temperature increasing from 2 to 6°C compared to May. In particular, during the peak hot days in early and mid-June, the outdoor temperature reached 41°C, the actual felt temperature even reached 52°C.
Prolonged high temperatures not only affect daily life but also increase the demand for electricity, especially cooling devices such as air conditioners, fans and refrigerators. This situation causes a sharp increase in electricity consumption throughout the city, especially in residential areas.
According to EVNHANOI statistics, in June 2025, the average daily electricity output in Hanoi reached more than 90 million kWh, an increase of 12% over the same period in 2024. The total output in June reached approximately 2,700 million kWh, of which the peak was recorded on June 2 with 110.9 million kWh - the highest since the beginning of the year. The group of customers belonging to the Residential Consumption Management component alone accounted for more than 59.5% of the total output, an increase of 1.15 times compared to May.
This reflects the direct impact of weather on electricity usage behavior in households. In particular, when students' summer vacation coincides with the peak of hot weather, the time of using air conditioners and electrical appliances is continuous day and night.
High temperatures not only increase the frequency of electricity use, but also make cooling devices consume more energy to maintain operating efficiency. When the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, the air conditioner must operate continuously, with few interruptions, leading to increased electricity consumption even though the usage time remains unchanged.
In addition, the adjustment of retail electricity prices according to Decision 1279/QD-BCT from May 10, 2025 with an increase of 4.8% at all levels is also a factor causing the electricity costs of households in June to increase.
Faced with that situation, EVNHANOI recommends that customers proactively monitor their family's daily electricity consumption through EVNHANOI's customer care ecosystem such as EVNHANOI App, website evnhanoi.vn,...
Customers should regularly check their electricity output, set warning thresholds when exceeding normal consumption levels to promptly adjust their electricity usage behavior. Especially in the summer, people should use air conditioners at a reasonable temperature (from 26-28°C), combined with fans, turn off devices when not needed and limit the use of many high-capacity devices at the same time during peak hours from 12:00 to 15:00 and from 22:00 to 24:00 every day.
Using electricity economically and efficiently not only helps reduce electricity bills but also contributes to reducing pressure on the national power system, especially during the peak of the hot season. EVNHANOI always accompanies the people of the capital to realize the goal of "Saving electricity - Making it a habit", for the benefit of each family and the sustainable development of the community.
