Workshop scene
According to Mr. Cao Quang Quynh – a member of EVN's Board of Directors, the energy demand in the coming years is forecasted to still grow at a high rate. However, the proportion of EVN's power sources in the total national power source is decreasing, while EVN is still assigned the main responsibility of ensuring power supply for socio-economic development and people's daily life. Therefore, EVN is looking forward to the participation and investment of investors and the support of relevant authorities to ensure the investment and development promotion of power source and grid projects the next time.
Investors as well as EVN are looking forward to mechanisms and policies to promote the rapid development of energy sources.
At the workshop, EVN’s representative discussed the Mechanisms and policies to ensure sustainable energy development and made some recommendations and solutions such as The implementation of energy transformation needs to be implemented on comprehensive coverage of the Vietnamese power system, in which priorities are set in the following order: (i) ensuring power supply security; (ii) ensuring an affordable electricity price; (iii) developing sustainable energy.
