Searching for gasoline, electricity and gas supplies
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed and issued Directive 09/CT-TTg on strengthening energy saving, promoting energy transition and developing electric transport.
In the telegram, the Prime Minister requested to focus on drastically implementing energy saving measures, considering energy saving as an important solution to reduce energy supply pressure in the context of the volatile world energy market.
Promoting the transition to electric vehicles, developing charging infrastructure and encouraging the use of biofuels to reduce dependence on imported gasoline and oil.
Promote investment in technology innovation and equipment with high energy efficiency; optimize production systems; strengthen the recovery and reuse of waste heat; apply digital technology in energy management.
Focus on implementing energy saving solutions in industries: steel, cement, chemicals, paper and pulp, beer and soft drinks, plastics, textiles, food processing,...
Develop electricity charging station infrastructure; research mechanisms and policies to encourage the production and use of electric vehicles; gradually convert public transport and public service vehicles to using electricity.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade completes the system of mechanisms, policies, standards and technical regulations on energy-saving and efficient use; expands the list of vehicles and equipment that must have energy labels and applies the minimum energy efficiency level.
Strengthen inspection of the implementation of regulations on energy saving and efficiency, especially for key energy-using establishments, establishments exploiting, processing and transporting gasoline, oil and coal; complete in the second quarter of 2026.
Direct energy production and business enterprises to urgently have solutions, seek sources of gasoline, electricity and gas, to ensure sufficient for socio-economic development and people's lives, especially in the current period of supply disruption, ensuring sufficient energy supply in any case.
