Hanoi (VNA) - Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha called for creating a new legal framework for the fossil energy conversion policy to green and renewable energy, at a meeting on the amended draft Law on Electricity in Hanoi on July 15.
Emphasising the urgency of amending the Law on Electricity, the Deputy PM requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to refine, supplement and address legal deficiencies and gaps in the electricity sector.
Incorporating feedback from the meeting, Deputy PM Ha stressed the need for the law to separate state management from business and production, establish a legal framework for research, technology acquisition and transfer of new energy technologies and promote the development and export of offshore wind power and production of green fuels, such as green hydrogen and green ammonia.
Highlighting the focus on clarifying three major policy groups, the Deputy PM noted that the most challenging and critical policy group involves developing the electricity market under a market economy regime, ensuring transparency and competition from selecting project investors to determining electricity pricing for consumers.
Regarding policies on transitioning from fossil energy sources to low-emission fuels or renewable energy sources and mitigating negative impacts during the energy transition on enterprises, citizens, and the economy, the Deputy PM underscored the imperative of establishing renewable energy industrial centres and offshore wind energy.
He emphasised the MoIT's attention to regulations promoting efficient energy use, environmental protection and Vietnam's strategy to become a regional and global energy centre. The role of the state in ensuring energy system security, promoting the development of energy storage systems (battery storage, pumped hydroelectricity and safe nuclear power) to increase the deployment rate of renewable and new energy sources was also highlighted.
