📋 Tender Overview
That is the opinion shared by Mr. Dang Nguyen Ngu, General Director of Schneider Electric Vietnam and Cambodia when discussing the problem of efficient electricity use during the period when Vietnam is promoting industrialization, digital transformation and aiming for a net zero emission target. Download Mr. Dang Nguyen Ngu, General Director of Schneider Electric Vietnam and Cambodia Mr. Dang Nguyen Ngu, General Director of Schneider Electric Vietnam and Cambodia: In our opinion, a stable power source is the foundation for all economic activities, the core infrastructure to ensure continuous, uninterrupted production. A small disruption will cause huge losses to energy-intensive industries such as data centers, heavy industry, mining, mining or food production. In particular, Vietnam is emerging as a global manufacturing center for the electronics and semiconductor industry. With many large corporations investing in Vietnam, any interruption in energy supply will cause huge consequences in these industries. From the actual operations of businesses, Mr. Dang Nguyen Ngu said that one of the concepts that need to change is to identify saving electricity with limiting electricity use. According to him, the economy cannot stop production or reduce consumption mechanically just to save electricity. It is important to use electricity more efficiently through operational optimization. General Director of Schneider Electric Vietnam and Cambodia Dang Nguyen Ngu: When we think of saving we often immediately think of not using it anymore or reducing consumption. In fact, we can save but we cannot stop production, we cannot stop using. Therefore, the first concept I want to correct is: Saving electricity does not mean stopping or mechanically reducing consumption. The question is: Is there any way for us to save money but at the same time do better by increasing efficiency and having better awareness? Such savings come from optimization. Optimize electricity and energy use in each household, each building, each factory and on a national level. Thats the first thing. Another point of view that needs to be corrected: In the past, we often considered investing in savings as a cost. But with todays technology, practicing frugality is no longer a cost but an investment. From the perspective of an FDI enterprise (Schneider Electric), we see that energy management and electricity saving have become a core competitiveness, as well as a part of green transformation. We fully support the view that saving is not just a cost anymore but will be an investment. We want to share the opinion that it is time for us to turn strategies into action programs and practical actions. Mr. Dang Nguyen Ngu said that with the rapid development of AI, we have many opportunities to move faster than surrounding countries by proactively applying technology, digital transformation and especially digitizing and operating the power grid in real time. These are technologies that can help us very soon and very quickly to be able to meet actual needs with todays operational pressures. Share on Zalo
