Vietnam - Renewable Energy in Harmony with Nature
Vietnam has a fast growing population of about 90 million people and an economy which is rapidly developing.
The country is focusing on renewable energy, mainly hydropower, which currently contributes some 33% of the total power generation. With an annual hydro potential of 120,000 GWh, of which less than half has been developed as of today, Vietnam is one of the most vital and prospective hydropower markets.
