In recent years, the energy sector has developed rapidly and relatively synchronously, achieving many specific goals set for energy supply, especially basic electricity supply to meet the requirements of socio-economic development. However, some indicators of energy security are fluctuating in an unfavorable direction. The management and exploitation of energy resources still have some limitations. The efficiency of energy exploitation and use is still low... while energy sources such as: coal, gasoline, oil, natural gas... are gradually depleted.

The above limitations are due to many reasons, but mainly due to inadequate awareness of the role, position, and importance of the energy sector and the goal of ensuring national energy security; in addition, policies on economical and efficient energy use are still inconsistent and not close to the actual situation.
