At present the development of new energy sources, has become a major trend in the world. Vietnam to follow international trends, the development of solar, wind and other new energy sources. However, capital and technology into Vietnam, the two major bottlenecks in the development of new energy sources. Hindered the development of new energy in Vietnam, now the development of new energy in Vietnam is only experimental, from industrialization and commercialization of how far it?
In the past five years, the Vietnamese Government has invested in the construction in the northeast of solar power generation system 100 families, 200 domestic system, the first river in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh province and the establishment of 400 solar home systems. However, solar and other new energy power generation accounts for the proportion of total electricity generation in Vietnam is negligible, mainly because of domestic and foreign investors are not keen on new energy projects.
Vietnam domestic production of high quality solar PV modules, if imported equipment from abroad, high cost, lack of market competitiveness, the Government has no practical incentives. A senior reporter in Vietnam, said Vietnamese Government is to encourage new energy development, but only encourage it, and no real incentives for new energy investors can not get credit support from banks. Therefore, the lack of effective implementation of policies on renewable energy projects in Vietnam is the main obstacle.
Vietnam in 2010 to make renewable energy amounted to 3% of the total generating capacity, this, early in 2008 to invest 10 million U.S. dollars in Vietnam, in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam’s energy Zhongxin building the first of a solar panel manufacturing plant imported from Germany and France solar cells, solar panels assembled in China, the ultimate goal is the ability to self-produce solar cells and solar panels to improve the capacity of assembly.
In 2008, the Vietnamese government also launched a program to promote public participation in use of solar energy in the 5-year national plan, I hope 2013 will be 30 000 180 liters capacity solar water heater market. But reporters have learned from the situation, solar water heater has not been universal. Many cities in China solar water heater on the roof of different scenes can be seen everywhere in Vietnam, reporters have not seen a solar water heater. Arrived in Vietnam, reporters thought the drums on every roof is solar water heaters in Vietnam, and later learned that the Vietnamese residents of those drums is the second water supply, not water heaters. As high gas costs, the most popular in Vietnam is still water heater electric water heater.
Viet Nam Energy Association, said recently that the development of new energy and renewable energy as its 2010 to 2015 eight central tasks. Continue to assist the development of electricity, coal, gas and other traditional energy sources at the same time, the Association will vigorously promote wind power, solar, geothermal and biomass energy and other new energy and renewable energy development, and with the Vietnamese government departments to carry out solar and wind power pilot projects.
Some Vietnamese NGO organizations dedicated to the promotion of renewable energy. Several journalists attended the conclusion of the Vietnamese NGO Conference, many NGO will determine this year’s mission to promote biogas in rural areas in Vietnam. Vietnam is located in tropical, subtropical, winter, apart from individual other than the high altitude, almost frozen on, very suitable for the development of biogas. However, rural areas in Vietnam, reporters saw the majority of farmers are still using firewood and coal for cooking and heating.
