1st Stakeholder Forum of the Viet Nam Energy Partnership Group

In Dec 10, 2019, the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management at Fulbright University Vietnam, joined force with the Vietnam Energy Partnership Group (VEPG) to host a session on the optimal future energy mix for Viet Nam at the 3rd High-level Meeting and 1st Stakeholder Forum of the Viet Nam Energy Partnership Group. The session addresses what Vietnam can learn from the international best practice for its transition process towards a sustainable, reliable and affordable power sector; the implications the development of clean energy sources and improved energy efficiency efforts have for the socio-economic development and for environment, climate and public health; and opportunities and challenges for private sectors to take part in the energy transition process.

Professor David Dapice, a well-known Vietnamese expert and long-time colleague of FSPPM, delivered a keynote speech. Dr Le Viet Phu chaired the session and moderated a panel discussion which focused the just released Vietnam Energy Outlook Report 2019 and upcoming power development planning in Vietnam.
