Coal industry adopts energy-saving measures

The Viet Nam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) consumes nearly 700 million kWh of electricity annually for coal mining.

Recently, particularly during the peak summer months, several units within the group have adopted power-saving strategies.

These aim to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and enhance labour productivity and business efficiency. According to an official of Vinacomin, as part of the broader energy-saving and efficiency programme from 2020 to 2030, with a vision extending to 2050, Vinacomin aims to save 5-7% of its total energy consumption.
