1. Introduction
9 VN is relatively endowed with multiform renewable energy (RE) resources which are
distributed through-out the country. They can be exploited for production of energy to
meet rapidly increasing energy demand as well as environmental protection.
9 Main RE resources in VN are small hydro power, biomass energy, wind energy, solar
energy, and geothermal energy.
9 So far, even the high potential of RE resources, their contribution in electricity
production in Vietnam is still negligible.
9 The Government of VN recognized important role of RE in sustainable energy
supplying in general and electricity in particular for rural off-grid areas.
¾
The electricity Law require support to be provided to electricity generation from RE
¾ Decision No.110/2007/QD-TTg, it plans to install the grid connected RE with 4051 MW
¾ Decision No.1855/QD-TTg, it sets up the target with share of RE (3%-2010; 5%2020)
9 MoIT has commissioned the preparation of Strategy, Master Plan on RE
Development for the Period up to 2015 with Outlook to 2005, and first draft report has
been prepared by Institute of Energy

Solar Energy
¾ Over 100 solar measurement stations throughout the country
¾ Average solar radiation is 5 kWh/m
2
per day.
¾ Average number of sunny hours is about 2000-:-2500 hours/year.
Wind Energy
¾ Wind energy density: 800 – 1400 kWh/m
2
.year on islands
¾ 500 -1000 kWh/m
2
.year in coastal areas and highlands
¾ Other areas: less than 500 kWh/m
2
.year.
Biomass Energy
¾ Agricultural residues is over 60 million tons (equivalent
more than 10 million tons of oil).
¾ Types of biomass can be exploited at the industrial
scale: rice husks; leaves, top of sugar canes &
baggage; coffee husks and wood residues.
Assessment on potential of renewable energies
Institute of Energy
Biogas energy
¾ Biogas resources: landfills, animal excrements, agricultural residues
¾ 80,000 biogas plants have been constructed
¾ Biogas potential is about 10 billions m3/year.
Small Hydropower Energy
¾ Technical potential > 4000 MW
Geothermal energy and other types (tide, ocean waves )
¾ Potential of geothermal energy resources: 200- 340 MW.
¾ The renewable energy type such as tide and sea waves are
in the stage of potential assessment.

3. Experience
Advantages:
1. Vietnam has larger potential and diversified RE resources
2. Government set up development plan for RE
2.1. Renewable electricity development
Decision No110/2007/QD-TTg, Renewable electricity planned as below:
From 2006-2015: Installed new 2451 MW, average: 241 MW/year
From 2016-2025: Installed new 1600 MW, average: 160 MW/year
2.2. Bio-fuel development
From 2007-2010: Gasohol E5: 100000t/year, Bio-diezel B5: 50000t/year
with 8% gasohol demand will replaced by E5
From 2010-2015: 20% gasoline & diezel demand will replaced by E5 & B5
3. Supporting strong from MoIT (development of RE Master Plan)
Institute of Energy
Disadvantages and limitations:
1. First new RE Master Plan in VN
2. Financing is limited due to regulation
3. Time is limited
4. Inadequate database
5. Lack of information, analysis, and assessment on potential RE
resources, cost, and benefits of environment
6. Lack of manpower
