📋 Tender Overview
According to Mr. Dang Hai Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade), increased electricity consumption is an inevitable consequence of the economic development process. Behind that growth picture are significant challenges to ensuring energy supply. In addition to geopolitical challenges, there is parallel pressure from the green transition trend on a global scale. Download Mr. Dang Hai Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade) Mr. Dang Hai Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade) said: The work of ensuring energy supply is still subject to many challenges from external factors. New requirements on green taxes, carbon emission reduction, and mechanisms such as CBAM or Green Deal in major export markets are requiring the power system to have increasingly low emission factors. This forces us to increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power source structure. However, as the proportion of renewable energy increases, forecasting and operating the power system also becomes more complicated due to its heavy dependence on weather conditions. In the context of increasingly unpredictable climate change, forecasting power sources from renewable energy is also more difficult. This is a big challenge for electricity supply in the coming time. The above challenges show that simply focusing on expanding supply will not be enough to ensure long-term energy security. Managing electricity demand and improving energy efficiency is becoming a strategic solution. Mr. Dang Hai Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade): In addition to the issue of ensuring energy security, we also have market issues, ensuring national competitiveness, especially in the context of the common market. From 2026, Europe will impose a carbon tax and carbon certification system on products imported from outside markets. At the same time, they also raised many issues about limiting their ability to penetrate and access the market related to issues such as ESG, sustainable development, green fences... If in 2010, the first version, the Law on Efficient and Economical Use of Energy had the nature of encouragement, advocacy, and promotion. By 2025, we will make amendments to further strengthen energy management in production, business and use. After the Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation, from Resolution 70 to recent directives, discipline in production, consumption and use of energy has been strengthened. An important new point is that saving electricity is no longer limited to advocacy movements but has been quantified into specific targets. Accordingly, state agencies, businesses and key energy users must develop plans to use energy economically and effectively; Determine evaluation indicators (KPI) and energy consumption norms in production and business activities. Mr. Dang Hai Dung, Deputy Director of the Department of Innovation, Green Transformation and Industrial Promotion (Ministry of Industry and Trade): The next issues related to building standards and regulations, we will gradually raise, because these standards and regulations directly affect production issues, especially when exporting goods abroad. When a carbon tax system is applied, energy consumption issues that account for about 70-80% of the carbon content will be taxed. Therefore, the tightening of standards and regulations in the coming time according to Directive 10 requires a minimum increase of 5% for activities from production to consumption of services. Ensuring energy security in the new development period is not only the responsibility of the electricity industry or state management agencies, but also requires the participation of each business, each household and each citizen. Only when saving electricity becomes a habit and a consumer culture of the entire society can Vietnam build a safe, sustainable energy system capable of meeting growth aspirations in the coming decades.
