ABSTRACT:

Vietnam is endowed  with rich potential of hyd-ropower (HP) with more than 35,000  MW of total generation capacity, of which small HP is around 4,000 MW. The renewable energy (RE) is strongly promoted by the Government of Vietnam as a measure to ensure the country’s energy security, affordability and sustainability as   well as battle the climate change. A number of policies, regulations have been  issued  by the Government to promote RE.
