The energy conservation exposition 2010 (ENCON EXPO 2010) featuring energy-efficient products and renewable energy will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from November 25-28.

The event, which will house 300-400 pavilions from 40 foreign enterprises and 200 domestic businesses, is being held by the Energy Conservation Centre of HCM City (ECC-HCMC) and Anh That Commerce and Service Co. Ltd.

The exhibition aims to promote the exchange, cooperation and transfer of technology on energy saving while introducing energy-efficient appliances in an effort to raise public awareness of using energy-saving products.

A number of activities will take place within the framework of the event such as a students’ forum, a children’s painting contest and other promotional activities.

According to ECC-HCMC, the 6.8 percent year-on-year increase of electricity prices in 2010 is encouraging more people and businesses to think about energy-saving measures.
