On the afternoon of December 8 in Hanoi, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) held the Award Ceremony for the “2025 Electricity Conservation Advocacy Contest,” honoring 22 outstanding authors and author groups. VETS | EnE was honored to be the only Energy–Environment consulting organization among the awarded authors and groups.
The contest is one of the key tasks under the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation for the period 2019–2030, implemented pursuant to Decision No. 548/QĐ-BCT and Decision No. 231/QĐ-BCT issued by the Minister of Industry and Trade. The competition was organized in the form of live performances and video productions – an important innovative approach aimed at enhancing outreach and improving public accessibility. From the launch of the contest to the submission deadline, the Organizing Committee received 130 entries from power companies, educational institutions, enterprises, and individuals nationwide.
The submitted works demonstrated a wide range of creative expressions, including stage plays, comedy skits, musical performances, poetry, literary excerpts, and reportage reenacting real-life situations. Participants came from diverse backgrounds such as electricians, teachers, healthcare professionals, students, government officials, and community members, offering vivid and authentic perspectives on electricity conservation.
With a strong commitment to responsibility, fairness, and transparency, the Final Jury Panel selected 22 outstanding authors and author groups for awards based on criteria including content quality, communication effectiveness, practical applicability, and dissemination potential. The total prize value amounted to nearly VND 300 million.
Standing out among many impressive entries, the musical drama “Green Factory: From Challenges to Actions” by VETS | EnE was highly commended by the Jury for its practical relevance, strong outreach impact, and effective communication, earning Second Prize in the contest. This achievement recognizes the continuous efforts of VETS | EnE in accompanying regulatory authorities and enterprises in promoting energy efficiency and conservation.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Long, Vice Minister of Industry and Trade and Head of the Organizing Committee, expressed his hope that local authorities, enterprises, and the wider community would continue to turn this initiative into a sustained movement not only in 2025 but for many years to come. Every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved contributes to the economy, environmental protection, and the country’s green future.
In the coming period, the Ministry of Industry and Trade reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with local governments, Vietnam Electricity (EVN), and the business community to expand communication campaigns, training programs, and technical support, while encouraging innovative initiatives on electricity conservation. These efforts aim to create more creative platforms enabling every citizen to become an energy conservation advocate, thereby fostering a culture of efficient and sustainable electricity use.
