At the meeting session, the delegates raised many issues related to the petroleum supply, the petrol price adjustment plans, and the development of green and renewable energy in HCMC.
Along with that, the delegation was concerned about ensuring energy security, protecting the environment, and establishing mechanisms and policies for energy development. They also emphasized the need to assess the damages caused by the suspension of rooftop solar power purchases from residents.

In addition, relevant departments and agencies need to pay attention to the recycling of solar panels, as well as the development of public transportation using clean energy, contributing to reducing the environmental pollution.
