Abstract
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.
