Convenient, civilized
In Hanoi, the widespread deployment of apps (applications) on mobile devices such as EVNHANOI, E-point has really created a new experience for electricity users. By successfully exploiting data from automatic remote reading meters, these apps have provided accurate electricity consumption data of each household on a daily basis. Thereby, users can have clear information about their electricity consumption, reducing needless doubts and questions, especially in the peak summer months. Applications that exploit automatic metering data have become a bridge for electricity buyers and sellers to understand and share with each other better.
