<p style="text-align: justify;">Hanoi Electricity Corporation is preparing a plan to announce power cuts to every household in the capital next year via mobile text messages, said Nguyen Anh Tuan, deputy general director of the Corporation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the time being, the Corporation will issue official letters to important subscribers to notify them in advance about its electricity cut schedules.<br />
<br />
For households, notices of power cut will be sent to heads of families.<br />
<br />
These improvements are aimed at helping all subscribers be more active in changing their activities to best adapt to power cut schedules.<br />
<br />
Currently, text messages notifying of electricity bills are being sent to subscribers in some districts like Tay Ho, Hoan Kiem, Hoang Mai and Hai Ba Trung.<br />
<br />
As the next few months is the peak time of the hot weather, the demand for power use will increase significantly and thereby power cuts will be inevitable, Tuan said.<br />
<br />
However, important political and social event, hospitals, schools and kindergartens will be given top priority in power supply, he promised.<br />
<br />
The power cut schedules will be posted on the Corporation’s website at http://www.evnhanoi.com.vn and published on six newspapers, he added. <br />
