Vietnam accelerates energy policy reforms to meet rising demand
Vietnam is seeking to accelerate energy policy reforms to meet rising demand and support its goal of achieving double-digit economic growth. Experts emphasize that refining the institutional framework is essential for long-term competitiveness and preparing for a new cycle of rapid, green development.
However, the energy sector faces several significant hurdles. These include the depletion of traditional energy sources, slow progress on key projects, and a lack of synchronized legal systems. Additionally, there is a noted absence of adequate financial mechanisms to support large-scale projects involving liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable energy, and hydrogen.
Industry leaders have highlighted regulatory bottlenecks, noting that energy projects are often subject to overlapping and fragmented regulations from various laws, including those governing electricity, petroleum, investment, land, and environmental protection.
