The EVN representative has just responded to many opinions reflecting the abnormal increase in people’s electricity bills.
EVN cannot arbitrarily change your electricity bill
In March, electricity bills for many households, especially those that use electricity in the South, increased abnormally and were reflected in various news agencies.
In response to this problem, representatives of the Electricity Regulatory Authority and EVN shared that, in March 2019, EVN and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce saw that the price of electricity from living customers increased considerably. official information; The experts also had explanations and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce also informed the Prime Minister about the price of electricity sold in accordance with the Price Table prescribed by the State.
Mr. Vo Quang Lam, EVN Deputy Director General, said that currently the electricity price and electricity bills are implemented in accordance with Decision 648 / QD-BCT on adjusting the average retail price of electricity. The monthly electricity bill in accordance with the Regulation on the price of electricity in force from 2019 of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has helped customers to compare and calculate the electricity bill on the website.
When the outdoor temperature increases by 1 degree, the electricity consumption for living will increase by 2-3%.
Therefore, it is impossible for EVN to auto-correct customers’ electricity bills. The monthly electricity bill is calculated according to electricity consumption, closing the index on the correct day and complying with regulations. If there is any information indicating that the index is incorrect, individuals should notify EVN immediately for clarification.
According to EVN, the fact that customers believe the power industry self-regulates meters like on social media is also not true. Because each electricity meter before being placed on the market for commercial operation, it must be approved by the General Department of Standards, Metrology and Quality, approving samples and quality.
The measurement system must fully follow the standards. According to Circular 07 of the General Department of Quality Standards, electricity meters that use from 5 to 6 years old must be verified again. Every year, the Provincial Department of Industry and Commerce organizes a probation team to administer the entire system, without allowing any meters to expire.
In the event that the people’s electricity meter is affected, the managing agency will pick it up because it is regularly inspected, the electricity meters are sealed and have inspection seals. Therefore, in the process of collecting meter readings, if there is any abnormal increase – decrease in electricity rate, the staff will check all the indicators and detect if there is an intervention. or not
According to EVN calculations, when the outside temperature increases by 1 degree, electricity consumption will increase by 2-3% depending on the type of air conditioning that people use. If the temperature increases by about 5 degrees, the power consumption increases by about 10%.
