| Description | The Viet Nam Energy Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Roadmap, identifies support for energy efficiency and renewable energy generation as one of the five key areas for 2016 to 2020. The S-KSTA provides a substantive entry into the renewable energy space in response to the government's increased emphasis and identified financing requirements. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | ADB recognizes the opportunity for Viet Nam to transition away from such strong reliance on fossil fuels in the face of declining reserves. The S-KSTA proposes to assess the current conditions for utility-scale solar deployment, including the market and grid conditions. It will also undertake an initial screening of the projects proposed for ADB assistance for technical and financial viability. | ||||
| Impact | Contribution of electricity supply from solar energy increased to 0.5% in 2020 and 3.3% in 2030. (National Master Plan for Power Development for the 2011 2020 Period with the Vision to 2030) Emission intensity per unit GDP by 20% decreased compared to 2010 levels. (Intended Nationally Determined Contribution of Viet Nam) |
