Based on the assessment of the electricity supply situation in the coming time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and EVN have proposed five main solutions to ensure electricity supply.

The energy structure in the next 10 years will change due to the impact of the pandemic as well as policy adjustments and sustainability as it recovers. Therefore, from now on, businesses in the Vietnamese energy industry need to plan and come up with an implementation strategy to be able to adapt to the new normal.

In the context of rapidly increasing energy demand, Vietnam has accelerated the transition to green and clean energy, gradually reducing fossil energy... in order to develop sustainable energy. This has actively supported the supply of power sources, especially in the recent time in the Northern region when there is a shortage of power sources and high loads, contributing to ensuring electricity supply for the whole period of 2021-2025.

At the virtual conference with the Minister for Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland Greg Hands on the afternoon of October 21, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said that Vietnam prioritizes to develop renewable energy, reduce coal-fired power, strive to achieve carbon neutrality soon.

Trong vài thập kỷ qua, các nhà khoa học trên toàn thế giới đã phát triển nhiều kỹ thuật và công nghệ có thể chuyển carbon dioxide (CO2) thành nhiên liệu sử dụng năng lượng mặt trời. Điều này được đánh giá cao vì nó sẽ làm giảm sự phụ thuộc của con người vào nhiên liệu hóa thạch, đồng thời góp phần giảm thiểu biến đổi khí hậu.

Green energy cooperation projects under the ESCO model have recently demonstrated their ability to help businesses achieve sustainability goals and quickly enter the "new normal".
