Today, innovations and technology improvements within renewable energy are taking place at a very rapid pace. Long-term energy planning is very dependent on cost and performance of future energy producing technologies. This technology catalogue provides estimates of costs and performance for a wide range of power producing technologies, thereby building one of the key inputs to good energy planning in Vietnam. Due to the multi-stakeholder involvement in the data collection process, the technology catalogue contains data that have been scrutinised and discussed by a broad range of relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of Industry and Trade – MOIT, Vietnam Electricity – EVN, independent power producers, local and international consultants, organizations, associations and universities. This is essential because a main objective is to produce a technology catalogue which is well anchored amongst all stakeholders. The technology catalogue will assist the long-term energy modelling in Vietnam and support government institutions, private energy companies, think tanks and others with a common and broadly recognized set of data for electricity producing technologies in Vietnam in the future.

This publication was developed under the Danish Energy Partnership Programme to support the Vietnam Energy Outlook Report 2019 with technology data. Other reports are also developed to support the Vietnam Energy Outlook Report 2019, including the Demand Projection Report and the Fuel Price Projection Report. This Technology Catalogue is a publication prepared by EREA, Institute of Energy, Ea Energy Analyses, the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Embassy in Hanoi. The publication is financed by Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) managed by The European Climate Fund (ECF).
