Developing energy to meet socio-economic growth’s demand is inevitable, however, energy development must be consistent with energy security and environmental protection. To achieve this goal, there are two strategic solutions for the energy sector: (i) enhance energy use efficiency, improve energy performance to reduce energy loss; and (ii) make changes to the energy source structure towards reducing fossil fuel, promoting efficient use of and increase usage rate of renewable energy in energy production and consumption, reducing greenhouse gas. The Vietnam national energy efficiency program had been implemented during 2006 - 2015 which indicates the energy conservation of over 18 tons of oil equivalent; for 2011- 2015, the efficiency rate is 5.65 percent, which is equivalent to the total energy conservation of 11.8 million TOE for the same period. Vietnam program is the implementation step to make specific the energy deployment strategy, a critical element in national sustainable deployment strategy, with the aim of making Vietnam a country of energy efficiency and conservation.  See Less -
