Renewable Energy Master Plan in Vietnam
1. Introduction
• 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.
• Main RE resources in VN are small hydro power, biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, and geothermal energy.
• So far, even the high potential of RE resources, their contribution in electricity production in Vietnam is still negligible.
• The Government of VN recognized important role of RE in sustainable energy supplying in general and electricity in particular for rural off-grid areas. o The electricity Law require support to be provided to electricity generation from RE o Decision No.110/2007/QD-TTg, it plans to install the grid connected RE with 4051 MW o Decision No.1855/QD-TTg, it sets up the target with share of RE (3%-2010; 5%2020)
• 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
2. Main contents of RE Master Plan
• Present status of RE development
• Evaluation of VN’s RE resource
• The potential role of RE in the National Energyenergy supply – demand balance
• RE strategy development
• Scenarios for RE development
• Strategy environmental assessment
• Investment program and Economic analysis
• Development RE policies and implementation measures
• Conclusions and recommendations
3. Assessment on potential of renewable energies
• Solar Energy o Over 100 solar measurement stations throughout the country o Average solar radiation is 5 kWh/m2per day o Average number of sunny hours is about 2000 – 2500 hours / year.
• Wind Energy o Wind energy density: 800 –1400 kWh/m2.year on islands o 500 -1000 kWh/m2.year in coastal areas and highlands o Other areas: less than 500 kWh/m2.year.
• Biomass Energy o Agricultural
