According to the Hanoi Energy Conservation Center, the movement of Electricity Saving Households has been deployed since 2011. To date, over 5 year duration (2011-2015), the movement has saved 1.32 billion kWh, equivalent to VND 2,155 billion. Particularly, in 2015, the whole city conserved over 35 million kWh.

For five year duration (2010-2014), the Movement has been extensive deployed throughout Hanoi, with two main phases. Phase 1 in 2010 - 2011, the city completed the goal, from raising awareness about the use of power-conservation, energy-efficiency in domestic consumption. Phase 2, in 2012-2014, the movement shifted from awareness to action of electricity-saving, energy-saving, and self-consciousness of household members.

Specific results over the years are summed up as follows: in 2010 - 17 million kWh conserved (approximately VND15 billion savings); in 2011 - over 25 million kWh conserved (VND 27 billion savings); in 2012 - over 28 million kWh conserved (VND30 billion savings); in 2013 - over 30 million kWh conserved (VND45 billion savings) and in 2014 - over 32 million kWh conserved (VND50 billion savings).

After 5 years, the movement has been updated through renewed realistic contents, innovated with practical meaning, focusing on useful skills to save electricity, to conserve energy; initially to form the habit of efficient use of energy, and to acknowledge that energy efficiency is a practical action in each household.
