Incentives are also needed to mobilise resources from the private sector as well as international aid.
Communications should be enhanced to raise public awareness on using renewable energy and promoting saving energy in society.
According to the General Department of Energy under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, as of the end of 2013, green energy accounted for 6.3 percent of Vietnam’s total energy, or a total output of 3,990MW.
