Key interests and Position paper

The Made in Vietnam Energy Plan

At the Vietnam Business Forum (VBF) 2016, EuroCham, together with other chambers of commerce in Vietnam, presented the first Made in Vietnam Energy Plan (MVEP 1.0) to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc. Since the publication of MVEP 1.0, we have seen many of our expectations met, such as the installation and grid connection of 7,000 MW of solar utility energy, compensating for electricity shortages, the signs of development for installation of “behind the meter” renewable energy, and so on. Starting from 2018, based on the first ground-breaking MVEP 1.0, EuroCham and other chambers in VBF have worked on an updated version to reflect Vietnam’s rapidly changing energy context.

We are honoured to announce the launch of the second Made in Vietnam Energy Plan (MVEP 2.0) in January 2020. MVEP 2.0 is an energy strategy that focuses on renewable energy, natural gas, energy efficiency and battery storage as well as grid improvements and expansion that will attract private sector investment. It aims at three primary goals: meeting growing energy demand; securing energy independence; and enabling consumer access to clean energy.

At the launching event of Made in Vietnam Energy Plan 2.0 in January 2020, the Prime Minister suggested to rename the plan “Made by Vietnam Energy Plan”.
