COUNTRY PAGE - Vietnam
Vietnam is a country in the mainland of Southeast Asia with Hanoi in the North as its capital and Ho Chi Minh City in the South as its largest city. The country is a socialist republic. Vietnam is in the midst of a power sector transition, moving from a monopolized energy market to a more decentralised system. With this transition, the government hopes to invest more in renewables, in order to provide energy security and meet the rising power demand, as an eight percent annual rise in electricity demand until 2025 is predicted. Vietnam has an electrification rate of about 99%, which is higher than in most of its neighbouring countries.
