Vietnam’s state-run utility is calling on households, offices and factories to reduce electricity usage though it does not foresee power shortages this year, the company said.
Vietnam Electricity Group called on customers to continue to voluntarily deploy power-saving measures amid a heat wave that has boosted consumption to a record 1b kilowatt hours on Tuesday, the company known as EVN said in a statement. Surging power usage last summer in north Vietnam, home to Apple Inc. suppliers, Samsung Electronics Co. factories and other major manufacturers, led to widespread blackouts.
