Surveys from 10 businesses, which operate in major industries like textile/garment, leather and footwear, mechanical engineering, energy and electronics, show that 3.2 million kWh of power (roughly VND40 billion) will be saved each year if energy efficiency and conservation solutions are utilized.

lthough the energy conservation program has been widely performed with more than 100 projects and missions assigned to many sectors, businesses and households, its result in 2006 was just 135 KTOE (equal to 1,6 billion kilowatt-hours or 1 million oil barrels), 0,56% of total consumption. In 2007, this number was 347 KTOE, equal to 4 billion kilowatt-hours. In the early 2009, conservation rate has reached 3% of total consumption.
