Energy
is a key component in Vietnam's economy. It plays a vital
role in the nation's industrialization, development and
social life. Vietnam is considered to have a high energy
growth potential, especially in hydropower, oil and gas,
coal. As of the end of year 2001, the energy reserves
are estimated at about 8 billion tonnes of coal, 450 million
tonnes of proven oil, 650 billion cubic metres of natural
gas and more than 15,000 MW electricity generation capacity
(hydropower accounted for roughly 70%). The major objectives
of Vietnam's energy industry for the first decades of
the 21st century are to completely develop and integrate
all resources in order to have sufficient supply for the
national energy needs, to promote the country's potential,
attract more investment in this sector, and protect the
environment. |
