Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Electricity demand in Viet Nam has grown at a rate of 15% over the last five years and will continue to grow by 15% till 2010 and, thereafter, at 12% per annum till 2015. The Electricity of Viet Nam (EVN) need to add generation capacity and transmission networks in the next decade in order to meet the country?s growing demand. The installed capacity is currently about 10,871 mega watts (MW), of which 46% is generated from hydropower and the remainder from fossil fuels (gas, coal and oil). The power sector master plan of EVN for 2000-2010 emphasizes the importance of developing hydropower along with other generation technologies. This is mainly due to abundant water sources in the country and hydroelectricity is cheaper per kWh than electricity generated from fossil fuels. The availability of electricity at lower prices (about $0.05/kWh) to consumers has spurred economic growth in the last decade (average 7.5% per annum) and significantly reduced the overall poverty from around 58% in 1993 to 29% in 2002. The Government?s target is to reduce this poverty further to 15% in 2010. However, in some provinces, such as in Lai Chau and Son La and in Central highlands, where some large hydropower projects are located, the poverty rate is significantly higher than the national average. About 50% of ethnic minorities (about 13% of the country total population) who are mostly inhabitants of the mountainous areas still live under the poverty line. Their livelihood is land-based and when these vulnerable population groups are adversely affected by power development projects, the depth of impact and the required assistance for long term livelihood restoration are significant. |
