This is the goal that Ba Ria - Vung Tau set to enforce the Law on Economical and Efficient use of Energy. The rational use of electricity and power savings become ever more urgent when this important energy source has signs of outage and deficiency.

Perceiving the instructions from the Provincial People's Committee and to implement the solutions to save electricity, the power usage in the province has achieved certain results. During the first 7 months of 2015, the province has saved 30.8 million kWh, reaching 68.4% of the annual plan.

India's Cochin International Airport is now the first in the world to be powered solely on solar energy.

The world's first 5-star resort to be completely powered by solar proves that luxury does not have to be sacrificed in the name of sustainability.

The lower efficiencies mean that it takes years for homeowners and businesses to recoup the money they invest in solar power systems. If the efficiencies were higher, that time for return on investment would be slashed, people would be able to cover more of their power loads with renewable energy and solar power would be much more enticing to people and corporations.

The Children Painting Contest on "power savings" theme initiated by Nghe An Power Company in coordination with Vietnam - Germany Children's Cultural House was launched in June 2015 for the preschool age group, primary school and upper primary school students.

A team of researchers, including Kyle Brinkman of Clemson University, developed a material that acts as a superhighway for ions. The material could make batteries more powerful, change how gaseous fuel is turned into liquid fuel and help power plants burn coal and natural gas more efficiently.

The project has completed the new construction of 156,45km transmission line and renovation of 99,43km of medium voltage line; new construction of 182,51km and renovation of 63,68km low voltage line; construction of 128 substations with a capacity of 4905 kVA and installation of 2,862 electric meters.

The public lighting system helps reduce 100% of the power consumption, bringing about high economic efficiency and securing urban lighting.

A new contender for Britain's greenest home has been unveiled in North Yorkshire.

UK-designed turbines aim to harness tidal energy to produce cheaper electricity − without endangering marine life, reports Climate News Network.

Genesis Energy announced its last two coal-burning electricity generators at Huntly Power Station will be permanently withdrawn from the market by December 2018, signalling the end of large scale coal-fired generation in New Zealand.

The project is part of the local authority’s commitment to Bristol 2015 European Green Capital. The city has also installed a sculpture of two life size whales made from recycled bottles, marking the city’s green status.

It is the saved power output of the Hanoi Electricity Corporation (EVNHANOI) in July. Accumulated figure for the first 7 months of the year shows that the Corporation achieves 177.35 million kWh savings, equivalent to 2.22% commercial power output.

At the workshop, large energy consumers and experts in the field of power saving shared experience and new technology solutions to reduce the energy consumption rate, energy audits and improvement of the production system, and power consuming devices.

Communication skills training in power saving was held during 3 days August 10-12, 2015 by Quang Nam Power Company in collaboration with the Quang Nam provincial Youth Union for over 400 key Youth Unionists

As one of the pillars of national power energy security, in 2011-2015, Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) not only ensures enough electricity for the economy but also stays in the lead in the implementation of solutions and promotions of economical and efficient use energy.

Currently, electricity consumption for lighting in Vietnam accounts for 35% of total power consumption of the country. The public lighting system is energy-consuming sector due to the design, installation and use of inefficient lighting.

In the implementation of energy development strategy, Ministry of Industry and Trade presided over the preparation of policies to support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power, biomass power, electricity generated from solid wastes and solar power.

26.8 million kWh, equivalent to VND42 billion - not a small figure which represents great efforts of Da Nang Power Company in its effective power-saving solutions for the first 6 months of 2015.
