Apart from key works, the city's government also calls on other units such as markets, supermarkets, trade centers, parks and other buildings to switch off the power for signboards and decorations for one hour.
Nguyen Van Ly, deputy general director of HCMC Electricity Corporation, said last year's Earth Hour helped the city save 80,000 kWh of power. He added that the program is not only to cut down power usage but also to raise public awareness on power saving to help the environment and cope with climate change.
Last year, the program helped the country save 400,000 kWh.
Earth Hour is a worldwide event organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, encouraging households and businesses to turn off non-essential lights for one hour.
