Operating the frequency transformer to save power in New World Hotel
As the statistics after 9 first months of this year publicized by HCMC Power Company, it was 81.73 million kWh of power that has been saved throughout the city, and the administrative organs, public and private lighting system are the most effective users.
For the public lighting system, the measure of power-saving was to cut off 50% of the public lights in the area.
Besides, the power plant replaced a part of public lighting system of round lights with the capacity of 75-150W with power-saving compact lights and renovated the private lighting region in accord with the standard of security and power-saving, etc., which has helped save more than 29.5 million kWh.
As said by the above Instruction, administrative organs, national budget-granted units and enterprises have to seriously follow the power-saving policy, streamlining at least 15% compared to 2005. The Steering Committee frequently rings a bell with units not conforming to the policy and coordinates with Energy Competition Committee (ECC) to train the employees of over 3,000 organs; thus, in 9 first months, administrative organs have saved more than 26.6 million kWh of power.
Moreover, the company focuses on raising the power-saving consciousness among customers using power for everyday life activities and production. By disseminating on mass media, 600 thousand leaflets, 5,000 posters, and banners, the company reminds customers of power-saving, which results in 13.5 million kWh of power saved.
Besides, Culture-Information Department and HCMC Power Company conduct to lessen 50% of power proportion used in decorating and advertising, approximately 5.3 million kWh; motivate customers to use preventive diesel generators in rush hours, which helps save 5.5 million kWh in 9 months. Industry Department, Fire Prevention and Protection Department collaborate with HCMC Power Company to inspect the safety and power-saving level of units consuming over 3 million kWh/year.
In 9 first months of the year, the total saved power of HCM city is over 81 million kWh, exceeding 12% of the target. This is an optimistic signal of the power-saving awareness of the population and an effective power-saving measure.
However, the difficulty of expanding power-saving in the society is that the society has not had a sanction for individual or organization not complying with the policy. The forth coming plan of the company in the IV quarter is to continuously boost the dissemination the power-saving policy, carry out the “compact-using” program all over the city and cooperate with ECC to audit energy in buildings, offices, etc.
