Recently, the world's political, economic and security situation has become complicated, especially military conflicts and geopolitical tensions in many regions, which have directly impacted the global energy market, affecting supply, gasoline prices and energy security.
Faced with this reality, Gia Lai province identifies the urgent requirement to improve energy efficiency, promote the transition to electric vehicles, contributing to ensuring national energy security and implementing sustainable development goals.
The province has developed and implemented an energy saving plan, promoting energy transition and developing electric vehicles in the area.
This is to reduce the risk of supply shortages, reduce production costs, improve efficiency and competitiveness of the economy. By 2030, Gia Lai strives to reduce energy consumption per unit GDP by 1-1.5% per year.
The province also sets a target to save at least 3% of electricity annually at key energy-using facilities by 2030; reduce electricity loss in transmission and distribution by 5.8%; 100% of key energy-using facilities conduct periodic energy audits and apply energy management systems; at least 50% of public transport vehicles in urban areas switch to using electric vehicles.
Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requests departments, branches, and localities to integrate energy saving goals into industry and field development plans and plans; implement solutions to reduce energy supply pressure in the context of volatile markets.
Encourage the conversion to electric vehicles, develop charging station infrastructure, use biofuels to reduce dependence on imported gasoline and oil; gradually convert public transport and public transport to electricity; save gasoline and oil in transportation and encourage the use of public transport.
Promote the application of technology, innovate equipment with high energy efficiency; optimize production systems; recover and reuse waste heat; focus on deploying energy saving in large consumption industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, paper, beer and soft drinks, plastics, textiles, food processing...
Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee also requested the Provincial Economic Zone Management Board to guide businesses in industrial parks/economic zones (IPs/EZs) to apply energy-saving and efficient energy use solutions; encourage technology innovation, install low-energy equipment; build a model of "IPs/EZs using energy efficiently".
Encourage businesses to invest in rooftop solar power, develop clean energy, renewable energy; convert internal transport vehicles to electric vehicles; invest in charging station systems in industrial parks/EZs; prioritize allocating land funds and technical infrastructure to serve the development of electric transport.
