Nghe An is in severe heat, be careful with high electricity bills

In the context of harsh weather and prolonged heat, the demand for cooling devices such as air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, etc. has increased dramatically, leading to a sharp increase in electricity consumption in households and businesses in the area. This has caused households and businesses to face high electricity costs.
