Prolonged heat, Hanoi's electricity consumption capacity reaches highest level in history
According to Hanoi Electricity Corporation (EVNHANOI), Hanoi's electricity consumption capacity reached an all-time high, reaching 5,608.6 MW at 1:42 p.m. on July 30, 2025.
Along with that, within just 2 days (from July 27 to 29), electricity output increased by nearly 40%, from 79.960 million kWh to 108.669 million kWh, a record increase showing the demand for cooling increased sharply in the hot weather. The group of household customers (households) accounts for the largest proportion of consumption, showing the clear influence of weather on electricity usage habits in daily life.
