He said that at present, the issue of saving and efficient use of energy still places heavy emphasis on propaganda, partly with increased supervision and inspection, but still mainly on the voluntary spirit, but lacking the opportunity to do so. What is the mechanism to solve problems such as motivation for people, businesses, etc. to use energy economically and efficiently? In other words, solving the problem of costs and benefits for economic organizations.

“I think there is a relationship between them. But in terms of the nature and implementation measures for energy saving and energy efficiency with evaluation criteria, there are many differences in the way of implementation. We need to be more specific about saving and efficiency in energy use, so that we can find more effective measures,” Anh said.
