This law aims to increase the energy efficiency of the country and do a better job on conserving energy by promoting and support the research and development team on discovering new energy saving technologies and products. Besides that, it aims to cut down on emission that might cause pollution to the country. The target of the Energy Conservation Law is to construct an industrial system that can preserve energy so that it can bring positive effects to the country’s economic development and enhance the economic structure. It can also indirectly help reduce the emission of pollutants that harms the environment if unnecessary energy consumption is cut
