| Abstract | The Vietnam Power System is developing very fast with an annual growth in electricity
demand of 15% or more expected to continue as the economy grows further. A massive
expansion of the power system is required over the next decade. Therefore Vietnam’s
electric power industry is facing tremendous challenges. Funds for investment must be
mobilized from all sources, including greater self-financing from EVN and large-scale
development of IPPs. Meanwhile, under a long term strategy drawn out by EVN and
approved by the Government in 2006, liberalization of the industry will take place in three
phases of power sector reform program, this will establish new institutional arrangements,
restructure EVN and gradually develop a competitive power market in generation,
wholesale and retail.
The pressure to meet rapid power loads, urgently mobilize investment for new capacity
construction, the reformed and restructured power industry will best serve long-term needs.
The objective of this study is to diagnose the power sector of Vietnam, investigate the
power sector reform undertaken worldwide in order to propose a suitable Single Buyer
Model for the first phase – the transition of the Vietnam deregulation of the electricity
industry. |
