VNEEP3aims to save 5-7 percent from the total national energy consumption between2019 and 2025 and 8-10 percent in the 2019-2030 period, or around 60 tonnes ofoil equivalent (TOE).
Theprogramme has total funding of 8.2 trillion VND (354.2 million USD), including4.4 trillion VND from the State budget and the remainder from local creditors.
MoIT hascoordinated with ministries and localities to develop plans for 2020 and the2021-2025 period. It has also completed a five-year framework plan for theimplementation of nine project components, which focus on regulatoryimprovements; the provision of technical and financial assistance for the promotionof energy saving; building an energy data centre; an awareness raisingcampaign; and international cooperation and scientific studies.
By 2025,the programme is to have cut power losses to less than 6.5 percent and reduced averageenergy consumption in the industrial sector compared to the 2015-2018 period.
It willensure that 70 percent of industrial parks and 50 percent of industrialclusters apply solutions to use energy economically and efficiently; that all keyenergy users apply energy management systems; and that all key transportcompanies provide courses to improve workers’ skills in operating vehicles inan energy-saving manner.
From 2006-2015,VNEEP helped Vietnam save more than 15 TOE of energy, and cut total nationalenergy consumption by 3.4 percent and 5.65 percent, respectively, in 2006-2010and 2011-2015. Vietnam has saved more than 9 billion kWh of electricity on averageeach year, equivalent to 15 trillion VND./.
