HCM City launches renewable energy use competition rented houses

The City Power Corporation (EVNHCMC), which has launched the award, will help the owners of rental houses upgrade their existing power system and promote the development of renewable energy.

The award duration will run from December to November (next year).

The houses' lighting system must have more than  五0 per cent of LED lights, which use  五0- 六0 per cent less electricity than other lights.

They should also ensure environmental sanitation, with no littering and indiscriminate discharging of untreated wastewater, and maintain other good practices of a cultured, civilized urban lifestyle, the organiser said.

Last year, the city saved  五 八 三. 九 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, contributing a reduction of nearly  四 四0,000 tonnes of CO 二 emissions, according to the EVNHCMC.

In the first four months of this year, the energy-saving programs have saved more than  一 七 九 million kWh of electricity. — VNS
