The adjustment will therefore improve the performance of the country’s power sector, reduce the need of investment into the networks and encourage a more efficient integration of renewable energy sources.’ Markus Bissel – Director of GIZ’s Smart Grids for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SGREEE) Project – said, ‘What our experts presented today will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis, detailed assessments and concrete proposals to the revision of Viet Nam’s Smart Grid Roadmap. The plan, however, needs to be updated as Viet Nam has witnessed a significant increase on renewable energy and a number of policy changes.Īt his opening remarks, Mr. The roadmap sets a general target for Smart Grid to improve system reliability through demand-side management and energy efficiency measures. 1670 / QD-TTg on November 8, 2012, approving a strategy on developing Smart Grid in Viet Nam (in short: Smart Grid Roadmap).
