The talk show was held against the backdrop of Vietnam’s continuously growing electricity demand, driven by economic growth, industrialization, urbanization, and digital transformation. In particular, as the hot season begins, electricity consumption has been rising steadily, placing significant pressure on the national power system.

During the talk show, the participants discussed and analyzed the challenges facing efforts to ensure a stable electricity supply. They also proposed solutions in terms of mechanisms, policies, technology, and energy management to promote energy-efficient and economical electricity use across society.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Ngo Son Hai, Vice President of EVN, emphasized that electricity conservation not only helps reduce costs for households and businesses but also contributes to safeguarding national energy security. According to Mr. Hai, every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity saved during peak-demand periods helps ease pressure on the national power system, reduces the need to mobilize high-cost power sources, and enhances the reliability of electricity supply for both production and daily life.

The EVN representative recommended that consumers use electricity in a rational and efficient manner, particularly during peak-demand hours. He advised setting air conditioners at appropriate temperatures, implementing heat-insulation measures for homes, prioritizing high energy-efficiency appliances, and regularly monitoring electricity consumption in order to adjust usage habits accordingly. Efficient and economical electricity use not only benefits individual households by reducing costs but also contributes to ensuring a safe and stable electricity supply for society as a whole.

The program also provided an opportunity for experts, representatives of government agencies, and businesses to discuss the role of technology, digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart energy management solutions in optimizing electricity consumption and helping reduce pressure on the national power system.
