Improving Energy Efficiency in Rural Grids (commissioned by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ))
PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Rehabilitation and modernization of power grid in rural areas in Northern, Central and Southern Vietnam in order to reduce losses and avoid CO2 emissions and to ensure a reliable and cost-effective power supply.
Installation of new meters, rehabilitation and upgrade of substations and MV & LV lines in rural grid. 
 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Improving Energy Efficiency in Rural Areas of Vietnam measure included rehabilitating, modernising and expanding the rural electricity grids in northern, central and southern Vietnam. The three regional energy suppliers were responsible for its implementation. As part of the measure, low-voltage grids, medium-voltage grids, substations and transformers were installed in northern, southern and central Vietnam. As a result, the measure played a role in strengthening the Vietnamese distribution network by ensuring that rural areas were better connected to the national electricity grid.
