Can Tho Seafood Import-Export Joint Stock Company invests in modern equipment and machinery to increase the efficiency of energy saving at the seafood processing factory.
In the first 5 months of 2025, the total commercial electricity output of the city reached over 1.39 billion kWh, an increase of more than 51 million kWh over the same period. Of which, electricity used for enterprises in the industrial, construction and trade and service sectors accounts for over 50% of the total electricity consumption of Can Tho City. And to exploit the potential for energy saving in these sectors, the Can Tho Center for Energy Efficiency and Conservation, the Department of Industry and Trade of Can Tho City, together with the city's electricity sector, have been implementing many propaganda activities, promoting the business community to apply new technologies and technical solutions to improve the efficiency of energy saving; encouraging enterprises, especially key energy-using establishments, to effectively implement the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy; updating and disseminating new regulations on the development of self-produced and self-consumed solar power; Support businesses in applying renewable energy sources such as rooftop solar power... into the production process, creating green, clean products according to the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
Currently, Can Tho City has 75 key energy-using enterprises and production establishments with energy consumption of 3.5-6 million kWh/year, many of which have conducted periodic energy audits; developed annual or 5-year energy-saving and efficient plans.
