Energy experts, economists, and lawyers also discussed issues related to infrastructure development to meet energy transition need towards net-zero carbon commitment by 2050.
In her remarks at the event, VIETSE Executive Director Ngo Thi To Nhien said incentives offered by the Government have set the scene for Vietnam to better attract both domestic and foreign investment in renewable energy in recent years.
The policies, however, remained inconsistent and this has undermined investors’ commitments in implementing planned projects, she noted.
To achieve Vietnam’s renewable energy goals in the future, the Government must soon deploy an auction mechanism for sales of the renewables, Nhien said, adding that the mechanism has been launched in 60 countries around the world, paving the way for these countries to develop the renewable energy sector in a reasonable, cost-effective and transparent manner.
The employment of the auction mechanism will also help the country fulfill other goals, for examples, creating jobs, capacity building in technology and enhancing national energy security./.
