According to the Whitebook,Vietnam has great opportunities in investment and development of renewableenergy and wind power as an alternative solution to support the country'stransition.

Stuart Livesey fromthe Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) said that new energy sources suchas offshore wind power require huge investment. However, the complexity of theseprojects mainly comes from a lack of a legal and policy framework, which hasslowed down the investment capital flows needed to achieve net-zero emissions,he said.

Participants said theyexpect clearer information on Vietnam's power development plan and its relatedpolicies, along with the rapid development of a legal and policy framework toenable the private sector to engage in national energy investment.

Nguyen Quang Vinh,Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), said manyaspects such as energy transition, renewable energy development, low carbonhydrogen, waste-to-energy or green tourism are new. In order to attractinvestment to these areas, it is necessary to put in place the necessarymeasures and policies as soon as possible to provide a clear context forforeign investors, he recommended./.
