1. VIETNAM IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFICIENT POWER MARKETS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, DRIVEN BY LOW-
COST RESOURCES SUCH AS HYDRO AND COAL. THE COUNTRY HAS ACHIEVED AROUND 99 PERCENT
ELECTRIFICATION WITH RELATIVELY LOW COST IN COMPARISON TO NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.

 The total installed capacity as of November 2018 was 47,750 MW.

 With growing industrialization and economic modernization, energy demand is predicted to increase by
over eight percent (8%) per annum during the 2021-2030 period.
 The demand is expected to increase from 265-278 TWh in 2020 to 572-632 TWh in 2030.

 To meet the growing demand, Vietnam needs 60,000 MW of electricity by 2020, 96,500 MW by 2025,
and 129,500 MW by 2030. To do so, the country needs to increase its installed capacity by 6,000 MW –
7,000 MW annually and spend close to US$148 billion by 2030.
 With electricity demand projected to increase by eight percent (8%) annually until 2025, the
government is moving forward to develop renewable energy sources to ensure energy security and
addressing the growing power demand.
 Well-known source of renewable energy: Hydro, solar farm, wind farm, biomass.

2. WE ARE WITNESSING AN IMMENSE GROWTH OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THIS
INDUSTRIALIZATION ERA

 Thanks to repid construction of Power

line in all Vietnam and large investment
in structural high-voltage facilities,
almost all regions in Vietnam have
access to electricity.
 Even remote areas have power lines
thus create more employment and
production sites

  The rapid changing social
demography now
contributes to a boom in
energy consumption.
 Apart from TV set and
lighting, now we have
washing machine, ovens,
A/C, and a ridiculous
number of power-hungry
devices, and equipment.

5. FOR HOUSEHOLD ENERGY USER : SOLUTION FOR ENERGYSAVING

 Refurbishing houses is considered a key measure in improving energy efficiency

in the built environment. 
 The newly constructed buildings have more potential to achieve higher energy
performance than refurbished projects which are limited by fixed factors in
existing sites.
 There are many factors that have an effect on the performance of houses.
Therefore, the buildings were classified into two main groups by using nine
criteria: orientation, external walls, windows, roof, courtyard presence, thermal
control devices, use of solar collectors, energy-efficient appliances and air-
conditioners.
 We should consider switching to energy-saving appliances, from TV-sets and high-
efficiency cooker.

6. FOR INDUSTRIAL PLANT ENERGY USER : SOLUTION FOR ENERGY SAVING

 Industry is currently the largest consumer of energy as well as electricity. This will continue for
many years to come as Vietnam is in the process of industrialization. It can be said that the
increase in energy use in industrial production is a concern of Vietnamese policymakers.
 One of the most common reasons cited by large energy users for the failure to invest in energy
efficiency is the lack of access to financing. Because many energy-efficiency investments are
actually quite profitable, energy-efficiency loan businesses also can be potentially attractive to
banks
 A number of commercial banks in Vietnam have begun to explore energy-efficiency lending
possibilities, with support from IFC and others
 Training and increasing hand-son experience is needed, especially among third-party service
groups, to help efficiently identify and package financially attractive technology choices and
renovations.
