Abstract
This case study focuses on how the Vietnam National Power Transmission Corporation (EVN NPT) has applied state-of-the-art technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), in operating and maintaining the country’s electricity transmission infrastructure. EVN NPT, which was set up in 2008, is the state-owned enterprise responsible for developing, operating, and maintaining Vietnam’s power transmission system. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vietnam Electricity (EVN), the country’s only wholesaler of electricity, and the utility operates in all of Vietnam’s electricity subsectors. Operations and maintenance (O&M) of electricity transmission infrastructure is a core utility activity due to its impact on service reliability, and on operating costs and expenses. Effective O&M is critical for improving the availability of assets, preventing failures, reducing downtimes, and implementing maneuvers to reduce supply interruptions when assets become unavailable. With a staff of over 7,800 working with high voltage equipment, and often in difficult and dangerous conditions, EVN NPT’s managers consider that ensuring workers’ safety, as well as the effective operation of the system are extremely important. Any lack of understanding, confusion, or negligence regarding safely and properly operating electrical equipment can cause incidents that negatively impact Vietnam’s entire national power system. To ensure workers’ safety, improve productivity, and increase the reliability of the power system, EVN NPT has started the process of digital transformation.

Publication Regional Power Sector Integration : Lessons from Global Case Studies and a Literature Review(Washington, DC, 2010-06)Developing countries are increasingly pursuing and benefitting from regional power system integration (RPSI) as an important strategy to help provide reliable, affordable electricity to their economies and citizens. Increased electricity cooperation and trade between countries can enhance energy security, bring economies-of-scale in investments, facilitate financing, enable greater renewable energy penetration, and allow synergistic sharing of complementary resources. This briefing note draws from the experiences of RPSI schemes around the world to present a set of findings to help address these challenges. It is based on case studies of 12 RPSI projects and how they are dealing with key aspects of RPSI, such as: (i) finding the right level of integration; (ii) optimizing investment on a regional basis; (iii) appropriate regional institutions (iv) technical and regulatory harmonization; (v) power sector reform and integration (vi) the role of donor agencies (vii) reducing emissions through RPSI; and (viii) RPSI and renewable energy.Publication Vietnam Power Sector : Generation Options(Washington, DC, 2009-12-29)This report discusses the energy sector in Vietnam. The central task for the energy sector is to meet demands for electricity in sufficient quantity and of an acceptable quality, in as commercially and financially efficient a way as possible. Several issues arise if this task is to be accomplished in the short and medium term. They are: optimizing power investments; financing the investments that must be made; implementing the reforms in the power industry and restructuring EVN; improving access and service quality; and addressing shortcomings in pricing and tariffs. This study discusses the first of these issues, though inevitably there is some overlap. The study has four specific objectives: (1) to inform decisions about technology choices; (2) to inform decisions on energy and energy sector policy; (3) to inform the energy sector planning process; and (4) to inform the internal discussion within the Bank on how Vietnam's energy sector development can be assisted.Publication India : Policy of Notes on Power(Washington, DC, 2013-05-14)The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum to promote policies and programs that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices, and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change conference of parties in Copenhagen in December 2009, U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced that he would host the first Clean Energy Ministerial to bring together ministers with responsibility for clean energy technologies from the world s major economies and ministers from a select number of smaller countries that are leading in various areas of clean energy. Currently, the 23 governments participating in CEM initiatives are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, the European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and collectively account for 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and 90 percent of global clean energy investment.Publication The Potential of Regional Power Sector Integration : Greater Mekong Subregion Transmission and Trading Case Study(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2010-01)Developing countries are increasingly pursuing and benefitting from regional power system integration (RPSI) as an important strategy to help provide reliable, affordable electricity to their economies and citizens. Increased electricity cooperation and trade between countries can enhance energy security, bring economies-of-scale in investments, facilitate financing, enable greater renewable energy penetration, and allow synergistic sharing of complementary resources. This briefing note draws from the experiences of RPSI schemes around the world to present a set of findings to help address these challenges.

There has been a huge surge in the popularity of this important energy source from various stakeholders in India as well. On the other hand, solar power presents a formidable option for addressing pertinent issues being faced in international geopolitical and national macroeconomic arenas for the Government of India (GoI). Though the World Bank, India considers all market segments of solar power to be important; this report specifically looks at the utility-scale grid-connected segment of solar power in India. As one of the eight missions under India's National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC), the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was launched in January 2010 with the aim of accelerating India's march toward grid parity in solar power. JNNSM envisages the achievement of grid parity through long-term and predictable policy, large-scale deployment, aggressive research and development (R and D), and domestic production of critical materials, components, and products along the value chain. Phase one (2010-13) of JNNSM, still under implementation, experienced enthusiastic participation from Indian and international investors in the grid-connected segment with substantial discounts to the benchmark tariffs determined by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) for 500 megawatt (MW) each of solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. Another unique feature of JNNSM phase one has been the adoption of a reverse auction method for awarding projects to qualified bidders. The GoI took several proactive steps in phase one of the mission, such as offering a bundling of solar power with unallocated coal-based power through the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN), implementing a renewable purchase obligation (RPO) for solar power, instituting a payment security scheme (PSS), and undertaking certain measures for promoting local manufacturing, which all combined to ensure the success of phase one.

The recent Presidential Decree No. PP-436 02.12.2022 “On measures aimed at increasing the effectiveness of reforms with the goal of transition of the Republic of Uzbekistan to a ‘green’ economy until 2030” shows the country’s resolve to achieve sustainable growth. This report uses the adaptation principles to perform an economy-wide assessment of Uzbekistan’s adaptation and resilience. The report aims to identify key gaps and propose critical actions and policy recommendations that will facilitate the transition towards a ‘green’ economy by 2030. The report analyzes the foundation for inclusive economic growth, existing mechanisms to facilitate the adaptation of people and firms, and policies and actions to adapt land use and protect critical public assets and services. It also explores how the system helps firms and people manage residual risks and natural disasters and investigates how financial and macro-fiscal issues are managed. Lastly, this report explores Uzbekistan’s current prioritization, implementation, and progress monitoring system of adaptation and resilience.Publication At Your Service?: The Promise of Services-led Growth in Uzbekistan(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-07)In Uzbekistan, the services sector accounts for more than half of all jobs and has been central to the process of structural transformation over the past three decades. In the past decade, the growth of Uzbekistan’s services exports has lagged behind its manufactures' exports while FDI greenfield announcements to both sectors have been even. The growth of the services sector in the past five years was driven by social services, mostly reflecting increased public spending. This report groups the services sector into four categories based on their skill intensity, the extent of their linkages with other sectors, and their tradability in international markets: low-skilled consumer services, low-skilled enabling services , global innovator services. Of these groups, social services accounted for three-fourths of employment growth in the services sector between 2017–2022. These services also experienced relatively high rates of labor productivity growth, which was largely driven by higher public spending on wages and salaries.
