The "Source of Light" section.
On December 21, the Hanoi Power Corporation launched the EVNHANOI Online Traditional Cultural Space to recreate the long story of electricity and the capital through digital technology, urban memory and the people of the power sector.
More than a century ago, when electric light first appeared on Trang Tien Street, Hanoi crossed a new threshold of urban civilization.
Since then, electricity has accompanied every step of the city through years of wartime hardship and nights when bombs shook Hanoi.
After peace returned, lights illuminated Hoan Kiem Lake and continued to shine through periods of reform, expansion, modernization and digital transformation.
In the EVNHANOI Online Traditional Cultural Space, viewers travel through historical milestones via interactive timelines, images, sounds and digital experiences.
The history of Hanoi's power sector appears inseparable from the city's history, closely linked to daily life and the memories of its people.
The online space "Light from Workers' Hearts" devotes a deeply human section to stories of linemen climbing poles in storms, engineers on overnight dispatch duty during summer peaks and female workers quietly keeping 24-hour shifts. These are not heroic legends, but honest workdays closely tied to urban life.
The strongest emotional touchpoint lies in the "Cultural Light" section.
Here, electricity becomes part of Hanoi's memory: lights around Hoan Kiem Lake on liberation day, illumination at Ba Dinh Square during sacred ceremonies and old quarter streets shifting from oil lamps to electric bulbs in moments when civilization "switched on".
Amid rapid technological change, the capital's power sector consistently places green and sustainable development at the core of its long-term vision.
Every operational decision aims to use energy more efficiently and harmoniously with the urban environment and ecological rhythm.
Effective power management helps Hanoi become more flexible, more modern and more resilient to future demands.
Within this constant flow, Hanoi's power workers continue to choose a quiet yet steadfast role: keeping the lights operating safely, continuously and reliably.
Today's digital transformation and green development journey forms a foundation for the power sector to move confidently with the capital into a new era, where light not only illuminates space but also opens new horizons of development.
The EVNHANOI online traditional cultural space strives to bring stories of electricity and the capital into digital life, while preserving the spirit of Hanoi: calm, humane, understated, yet enduring and responsible.
