Nuclear power returns to energy planning, opening the way for sustainable development. Although it requires high technology and large capital, if overcome, Vietnam can enter a truly green energy era.
The key to paving the way for Vietnam's renewable energy breakthrough
|
To achieve the goal of developing renewable energy sources according to the adjusted Power Plan VIII and towards Net Zero by 2050, Vietnam needs to quickly remove investment barriers and promote the modernization of the power grid system to maximize the potential of clean energy sources.
Demands and solutions for developing renewable energy in Vietnam towards sustainable growth

transparent and stable electricity price framework opens the way for renewable energy
|
The lack of a clear electricity price framework is making it impossible for many renewable energy projects in Vietnam to plan their finances. When the output price is still uncertain, capital flows - the vital factor of all projects - are unlikely to be unblocked.
It is necessary to have mandatory energy saving regulations for some subjects
|
At the discussion session on the morning of May 28, 2025, the National Assembly continued to comment on the Law on the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Energy and Effective Energy. National Assembly deputies propose many important additional additions to improve the effectiveness of the implementation, expand the applicable object and especially emphasize the responsibility of the State in organizing infrastructure and promoting energy saving initiatives.
Policy has not kept up with green energy
|
Vietnam has great potential for renewable energy, but the transition to green electricity is being hampered by many bottlenecks: Lack of synchronous legal framework, congestion in site clearance, overloaded power grid and no stable electricity price mechanism.

Many mechanisms and policies have been issued, but in reality, energy development in Vietnam still faces many difficulties. Policy barriers still cause investors to feel hesitant.
Amending the Law on Energy-saving and efficient Use is an urgent requirement
|
According to the plan, on May 23, the National Assembly will discuss the draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (SDNLTK&HQ).
Workers flexibly use electricity to save money
|
Renting a house, most workers and laborers have to buy electricity at high prices. In the context of rising electricity prices, hot summer, many users are flexible to reduce electricity bills.
Legitizing the ESCO model to remove bottlenecks for the energy-saving market
|
The Draft Law on Energy Efficiency and Savings applies the ESCO model in the law, hoping to create a new breakthrough.
Enterprises accompany in saving electricity, reducing grid pressure
|
In 2025, Vietnam sets a GDP growth target of 8% or more, creating a foundation for a double-digit growth period of 2026-2031. To realize this goal, electricity plays a key role, being the "input of all intakes", ensuring economic development, people's livelihood and national security.
Vietnam needs a legal framework and coordination agency to promote the ESCO model
|
Many countries have effectively implemented the Energy Savings Fund and the ESCO model.
The fund to promote energy-saving and efficient use is expected to create a breakthrough in the revised law
|
The draft revised Law is proposing to establish a Fund to promote energy-saving and efficient use and develop the ESCO model to support energy transition, towards net zero emissions by 2050.
Energy-saving financial funds - a lever to promote green transformation
|
In the context of Vietnam promoting the amendment of the Law on Energy Efficiency and Savings, the proposal to establish a Fund to promote energy efficiency and savings is not only a simple financial tool, but also a strategic step to realize sustainable development commitments, reduce emissions and increase national competitiveness.
