Abstract

Energy efficiency (EE), which is one of the pillars of national strategy to improve economic competitiveness and sustainability of the economy. This is an area that complements and cross-cuts such national strategic goals as easing the burden of energy costs on the economy, ensuring energy supply security, alleviating risks arising from external dependency, the transition to low-carbon economy and protection of the environment. The energy consumption by Vietnam increases faster than in developed countries on account of population growth, rising prosperity, strengthening service sector and industrialization. The Vietnam National Energy Efficiency Program (VNEEP) was approved in 13th March 2019 in Decision No. 280/2019/QD-TTg by the Prime Minister to set up the energy efficiency goals as well as activities, and outcomes for period 2019 – 2025 and 2026 – 2030 (Prime Minister of Vietnam, 2019). In accordance with the VNEEP program, all city/provincial governments have been developing their own action plans of EE to achieve the goals of 5%-7% of energy consumption. Through case study, the main purpose of this study is to develop the action plan of EE implementation (EEAP) at provincial level of Vietnam.Keywords: Energy Efficiency, Energy policy, EE action planJEL Classifications: L5, P18, Q43, Q47, Q48DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.11624

Highlights

Energy efficiency (EE) and saving is a key element to achieve decarbonization at a global level to attaining the 1.5°C objective and reducing energy and climate mitigation costs (Labandeira et al, 2020)
Co-benefits of energy efficiency like the reduction of emissions, enhanced competitiveness, health and economic benefits can be significantly higher than the cost of energy measures (Zhang et al, 2016)
The purpose of this study is to develop the guideline of action plans of the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE & C) of Vietnam in the period of 2020 – 2030

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Energy efficiency (EE) and saving is a key element to achieve decarbonization at a global level to attaining the 1.5°C objective and reducing energy and climate mitigation costs (Labandeira et al, 2020). The specific objective for EE is to reduce greenhouse gases emission from energy activities against the business -as-usual (BAU) scenario by 15% by 2030 and 20% by 2045 (Central committee of the communist party of Vietnam, 2020) To achieve this National Program effectively, the commitment of the provincial/city level is of particular importance, as they are responsible for providing inputs on the determination of the targets set out under the national program. They are responsible for the implementation of the program in each province, which will be the key to achieving the set targets From this perspective, the purpose of this study is to develop the guideline of action plans of the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE & C) of Vietnam in the period of 2020 – 2030. Action plans must be in line with NEEAP, be feasible, practical, and suitable to the general development context of each specific city
