Nghe An is being most strongly affected by the severe and prolonged heat wave. The heat is one of the reasons leading to a sudden increase in the demand for electricity for daily life and production. Most households use cooling devices, and the demand for pumping water for irrigation is higher than before. With such a sudden increase in electricity demand, raising awareness of safe and economical electricity use among people and units will greatly contribute to ensuring enough electricity to supply and promote socio-economic development.
In each training content, the lecturers raised questions and situations about some energy saving solutions, comparing the effectiveness of energy saving products with conventional products, prices, and how to identify energy saving products. The members enthusiastically answered and received gifts from the organizers.
