The competition aims to diversify forms of communication and enhance the outreach activities of the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation for the 2019-2030 period (VNEEP 3). It seeks to raise public awareness about energy efficiency and conservation, implementing the Prime Minister's Directive 20 on strengthening energy-saving efforts for the period 2023-2025 and beyond.

This marks the third consecutive year that the Ministry of Industry and Trade has organized the online study competition on "Energy Efficiency and Conservation". Over the past two years, the competition has attracted more than 200,000 participants, with nearly 400,000 responses submitted online.
The competition is conducted online on the VNEEP program’s official website, a new and creative form of communication about energy-saving that is both highly effective and cost-efficient. This format received enthusiastic participation from a wide range of people nationwide from its first year.

The competition is open to everyone, regardless of geographic location or age. The impressive number of participants and responses to each round of the competition highlights the public's strong interest in energy-saving issues, while also reflecting the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s successful efforts in promoting public awareness about energy efficiency.

The competition serves as a platform to boost the dissemination of legal regulations on energy use and efficiency. The results of each round will be widely published on the program’s website and its social media pages.

The organizers hope that with questions relating to energy-saving practices in daily life, the competition will continue to attract wide participation from various groups across the country. This will contribute to spreading the message of the Vietnam National Energy Efficiency Programme, as well as general knowledge on energy-saving.

On this occasion, the Ministry of Industry and Trade also held a seminar on "Energy Efficiency and Conservation: Implementation Effectiveness and the Role of Local Communication." The seminar provided an opportunity for journalists and officials working in the field of energy efficiency at the local level to discuss and share strategies for promoting energy-saving initiatives.
