Recently, due to the influence of the El Nino phenomenon, intense hot weather has taken place nationwide, especially in the North and Central regions, leading to an increasing demand for electricity. record high. This also leads to a high risk of overload, breakdown, aptomat jump, even fire and explosion in domestic electricity use.

According to the recommendation of Northern Electricity Corporation (EVNNPC), Saigon – Hanoi Bank (SHB) would like to ask customers and the Bank to use electricity safely and economically, especially at peak hours, to limit the risk of local incidents on the power grid as well as in the family.

Accordingly, customers should limit the use of large-capacity equipment during peak hours (noon from 12h00-15h00, evening from 21h00-24h00), should only use necessary equipment; Industrial customers arrange suitable production schedules, avoiding extreme hot days as recommended by provincial power companies.

For businesses, you should actively convert to green energy, use less energy consuming equipment and machinery, use electricity at off-peak hours…

For households, the amount of electricity used by customers depends on the characteristics and usage time of the equipment, but also on the impact of the external environment, architectural works, space using electricity. , characteristics of electrical equipment, user habits… These factors also have a great impact on power consumption, so you should set the air conditioner temperature from 26 to 27 degrees Celsius in combination. with blower to save electricity.

Customers should choose and use electrical equipment with energy-saving labels according to the regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade; regularly clean and maintain for the equipment to operate stably and economically and unplug electrical equipment when not in use.

Besides, customers actively use renewable energy sources to reduce electricity bills at high price levels. At the same time, make the most of sunlight and natural ventilation to save electricity.

Along with calling for customers to actively participate in saving electricity, SHB has strengthened solutions to enhance power saving such as:

Promote the popularization and thorough understanding of the program of saving and combating waste and the implementation of electricity saving to all employees in order to raise awareness, responsibility and awareness of the importance of saving electricity. in maintaining energy stability, minimizing the risk of power shortage in 2023; at the same time, save costs to dedicate resources to the implementation of customer support solutions;

Include the content of electricity saving in the criteria for assessing the level of task completion, internal discipline and emulation and commendation of collectives and individuals every year;

Formulate, promulgate and organize the implementation of internal regulations on management and economical use of electricity; regulations on the use, maintenance and repair of electricity consuming equipment at agencies and units. Regularly check, review and urge the implementation of internal regulations and solutions to save electricity by collectives and individuals in the unit;

At the same time, use machinery and equipment at the right capacity, giving priority to equipment labeled with high efficiency energy; have a reasonable production plan, minimize the mobilization of equipment and machinery with large consumption capacity at peak hours; comply with the prescribed energy consumption norms…;

The work of disseminating and thoroughly understanding the energy saving implementation program is included in the Green Growth Action Plan of SHB. This plan is implemented synchronously by SHB according to a specific roadmap, from raising awareness of employees, partners and customers about the importance of green credit growth; reforming regulations, processes and mechanisms to “tailoring” credit products and banking services for green sectors. Simultaneously, SHB gradually transformed the credit structure towards giving priority to customers engaged in production and business activities in green fields, contributing to promoting borrowers to change projects and loan use purposes to environmentally friendly projects.
