“…(3) Wind energy Wind power in Vietnam belongs to the emerging energy group [40]. Although the construction of wind farms began only in 2012 with the Tuy Phong Wind Farm (now called Binh Thanh), more than 28 projects with installed capacities ranging from 20 to 400 MW were expected to be operational in 2023 [41].…”

Energy landscapes in Asia and other regions are currently undergoing a transformation aimed at increasing the share of clean energy sources. This article analyzes and forecasts the electricity demand in Vietnam, examining existing constraints that necessitate the shift from coal to renewable energy sources. The rapid economic growth in Vietnam is driving a substantial surge in electricity demand, projected to reach 124 thousand MW by 2030 according to the National Electricity Plan, positioning Vietnam second in Southeast Asia. This surge poses a significant challenge to national energy security, given the impracticality of effective coal mining in the country and the imperative to develop renewable energy sources. Anticipating the changes in Vietnam’s energy mix by 2050, this study foresees a substantial reduction in dependence on coal production. Government investment and green energy investment funds such as JETP are strategically directed towards renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen energy, and efficient energy storage technologies. Consequently, this research substantiates the viability of an energy transition from coal to green energy in Vietnam. The article presents an assessment of the rate of replacing coal with renewable energy sources, taking into consideration various scenarios for economic development, energy consumption growth, and the utilization of renewable energy sources.

Hydropower has been a pillar of energy systems for decades in many countries in Asia, Vietnam in particular. The push to decarbonize energy production is seeing renewed interest in hydropower worldwide, often in "developing" countries that are assumed to have untapped hydraulic potential to actualize through the construction of small (<30 MW installed capacity) hydropower facilities. While we acknowledge the important benefits provided by large, multipurpose hydropower facilities to various types of security issues, we question the assumptions on which the ongoing construction of small hydropower facilities in some developing countries rests. Using Vietnam as an example, we trace the continued support for hydropower development to political and technological momentum and argue that the continued construction of small hydropower facilities and their associated infrastructure diverts resources away from the sound development of other sources of renewable energy that will play more crucial roles in future energy transitions.

“…Since 2019, Vietnam has become a leader in the region, with solar and wind accounting for 13% of its electricity mix in 2022, up from nearly zero in 2017 (Figure 3). This remarkable progress is attributed to generous feed-in tariffs and a conducive environment for solar and wind investments (Do et al, 2021(Do et al, , 2022.…”

“…Previous studies have typically concentrated on specific aspects of technology, social factors, or the economics of Southeast Asiaʼs energy transition (e.g., Aleluia et al, 2022;Bai et al, 2023;Erdiwansyah et al, 2019;Gu et al, 2023;Vakulchuk et al, 2023). Some studies have discussed unique challenges faced by individual countries (e.g., Do et al, 2022;Guild, 2019;Le et al, 2023;Setyawati, 2020;Urban et al, 2018;Vaka et al, 2020). However, there have been relatively few studies employing in-depth interviews with regional policy practitioners to explore strategies for accelerating the energy transition.…”

This paper offers essential insights into Southeast Asiaʼs transition to clean energy, a cornerstone for global climate objectives. Based on 27 interviews with regional energy and climate experts conducted between September 2022 and October 2023, the research distils key factors into 3Ds: Demanding, Doable, and Dependent. Highlighting these aspects would foster readiness, persuade stakeholders, and secure international support, all of which are pivotal for advancing the energy transition towards net‐zero emissions in Southeast Asia.
