To ensure production during power outages, some units have had to invest in buying generators, but not everyone can afford them.

Responding to customer inquiries, Mr. Hoang Son - Director of Thai Hoa Town Electricity said: "The power outage schedule has been sent to the dispatching department for permission. Before cutting off the power, we notified customers by text message 4-5 days in advance. The work needs to be repaired immediately and we could not foresee the hot weather changes like this, so we hope customers understand."
