In addition to efforts to develop the power grid, the Electricity ofVietnam (EVN) has actively implemented energy-saving solutions, theVietnam Economic News reported.
According to EVN’s energy-savingreport, the group has strongly deployed solutions and created abreakthrough in improving energy efficiency in all sectors such asindustrial production, construction, transport and services.
Legaldocuments, management network and the deployment of the energy-savingprogramme have basically been formed. Energy database system has beenpiloted in some sectors such as cement, steel, garment and textile andseafood processing.
EVN has also paid special attention topromoting communication campaigns, contributing to raising communityawareness on energy-saving and protecting the environment. Member unitshave deployed many solutions such as organising training courses,competitions, exhibitions and the Earth Hour campaign and bringingenergy-saving contents into the national education system.
Accordingto EVN assessment, energy-saving activities and projects carried out inrecent years have always attached to the government’s goals andrequirements, contributing to bringing practical effects to the society.
When the law on energy efficiency took effect on January 1,2011, energy-saving activities have created a breakthrough. The countrysaved more than 5 billion kWh of electricity in the 2006-2010 period and1.3 billion kWh and 1.67 billion kWh in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
Inparticular, in 2013, the country saved 2.8 billion kWh of electricity,equal to 141 percent of the yearly plan with a total amount of about 3.7trillion VND.
However, the energy-saving programme has alsofaced some problems in terms of financial resources and low communityawareness. A number of energy efficiency projects have remaineddifficult to get access to capital source. In particular, the problem oflow energy price was a large barrier when implementing energyefficiency measures. Therefore, the most important solution is to changethe perception of energy efficiency ,especially in sectors that uselots of energy with poor performance.
According to the plan, in2014, EVN will drastically implement measures such as assigning powerloss target to member units, promoting campaigns on energy-saving andraising community awareness.
In addition, the group willcontinuously implement projects and programmes to exploit energy-savingpotential such as energy-saving households, energy-saving routes,advertising the use of solar energy water heaters, using safe lightingsources and playing video clips on energy-saving in the public areas.
Moreover,using compact fluorescent bulbs, installing energy-saving devices, suchas air conditioners and refrigerators mounted with inverter andswitching off lights when not needed are mentioned, contributing tochanging consumer habits on energy-using.-VNA
