Electricity is valuable so use in case of necessity

Ask your landlord the EVN consumer number (PE00000000000) if you agree to pay yourself in the rent contract.
EVN staff will deliver the consumed bill each month to your apartment.
You will see 2 dates on the beginning and end of the bill. First one is the delivery date and latter is your starting date to pay the bill, normally after 2 days from the delivery date.

You can see more details in bill like how many kwh you ate in that month, amount, tax, total amount...

You have many payment options:

1. Pay by hand directly to the EVN staff who delivered the bill.

2. Go to EVN website:  EVN HCMC

a. Select language from right side top - English / Vietnamese
b. Hover the mouse to "Online Trading" (GIAO DỊCH TRỰC TUYẾN) and click on "Thanh toán dịch vụ điện"
c. Enter the consumer number (PE00000000000) starting from PE and click on "Continue".
d. You can see the "List of services to be paid" with the consumer number and amount. If you cannot see anything, wait for 1 or 2 days. EVN need to update in the website.
e. Select the bill by checking the box on the left and click on "Thanh toán dịch vụ điện".
f. Agree with the VN PAY payment agreement by check box and click on "Thanh Toan".
g. Choose the payment method to pay.You will see so many acceptable bank logo in "ATM card and bank account" (Thẻ ATM và tài khoản ngân hàng).
h. Choose your bank and pay.

3. Go to your online banking/mobile banking (many banks has utility bill payment service online) and pay from there by 'choosing the area (EVN HCMC, EVN HA NOI...) then enter the consumer number.

4. Go to the EVN office (address will be in your bill - line 7) and pay directly. Of course some staff will help you because they like money

Hope this will help you to pay your electricity bill without any help!

In this respect, Vietnam is truly unbeatable.

You can pay both contemporary via online banking (you only have to enter the number and all the data and the amount will be displayed) and continue to give the money to the EVN employee who brings the bill.

I started to pay from last month (self reliance ) and paid on the office first.
Today paid through my Vietcombank internet banking just now.



Actually it's below 2000 VND per kwh, I think. If you give to third party they will take 3000 +
Anyway EVN makes it transparent, kudos EVN !!

The price per kWh depends on the power consumption. The higher the consumption the higher the price per kWh.


And also note that EVN increases the price per kWh by a few percent each year. The average annual increase over the last 10 years was 6% per year.

That's a great addition to the thread, thanks!

Here is the revised electricity charge of EVN.

You can calculate your bill now with this price calculator:

EVN Electricity Bill Calculator


According to the calculator, new charge for 1 kwh is 1.678 + 10% GTGT(168) = 1.846 VND

The charges are vastly different between business rate and individual rate, between nhà trọ and căn hộ, between a building with foreigners as tenants and one with Vietnamese families as tenants.  If the building owners were honest when registering their buildings, if they stated that their aim was to rent to foreigners and only for long term tenants, the rate will be among the highest.   Reason?  The likelihood that foreigners using their apartments for business is higher than a Vietnamese family working out of their bedrooms.  Foreigners also use a ton more electricity than locals.  The foreigners' apartments, therefore, are considered places of business.  A few places of business inside a larger place of business must pay higher business rate.

Within business rates, there are 4 different grades, each with a different rate.

The building where we're living has the second highest grade of electricity.  Since Feb 17, the rate has been increased to 4500 + 10% VAT per kWh for peak hours.  The rate for the one-woman hair/nail/spa salon a few doors from us is 5k + 10% VAT.

The complexity of electricity rates in Vietnam can be mind blowing.

Interesting to hear about foreigners are more likely to run a home business. Landlords prefer foreigners to rent.  VN tend to sublet, or under report the number of  ppl living in unit.  Not to mention the chicken farm they started :-)

If I miss the staff who delivers the bill, I just go down to the Family Mart and pay at the counter there.

Alternatively, just link the account number to your bank account and do it by hitting a couple of buttons...
