Promoting renewable energy an urgent requirement: experts
Along with its rapid economic growth, Vietnam’s electricity demand is also increasing strongly, at around 10 percent a year, causing huge pressure on the energy sector, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
As a country with a tropical monsoon, and sun and wind all year round, Vietnam has great potential for developing renewable energy. The Government has issued policies to encourage the development of renewable energy such as wind, solar and biomass to reduce adverse impacts on the environment and encourage production of energy-efficient devices.
