The event took place in the afternoon of 25th April 2023, with the participation from National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), Petro Viet Nam (PVN), solar EPCs and investors, onshore and offshore wind enterprises, Power-to-X companies, and the banking sector.
Dr. Andreas Förster, BMZ Head of Division East Asia, South-East Asia emphasized in the event: “Your input during the deep-dive discussions on energy transition, required policies and finance today are invaluable for us and for the upcoming government to government consultations later this week. Public and private interaction is more important than ever to take the next steps in Viet Nam’s power sector transition. I am confident that together we can make a meaningful contribution to a sustainable and low-carbon energy future for Viet Nam.”
