Objectives of VSRE Programme
The overall objective of the 3-year VSRE programme is that the rural population
of Vietnam has increased access to options for rural energy services that are
reliable, affordable, appropriate, and sustainable. The specific objectives of
each Area are:
Area 1: to strengthen the implementing capacity of rural renewable energy
policies within central government, provincial and district level organizations
in order to facilitate the development of renewable energy plans in rural areas.
Area 2: to develop a proposal for appropriate sector technical standards
and enforcement mechanisms for safe and reliable rural electricity service
delivery in order to achieve a strengthened capacity to implement policies
related to increasing safe, appropriate and cost effective rural electricity
access, based on a new national technical standard for rural grid connected and
off-grid electrical distribution systems, and related enforcement mechanisms.
Area 3: to overcome key financial barriers to accelerate growth in
renewable rural electrification.
Area 4: to review, develop and apply institutional models appropriate for
local management of rural off-grid electricity supply and to assess and provide
recommendations regarding appropriate regulations for institutional models for
community service provision.
Area 6: to increase awareness among the
rural populations of Vietnam on productive use of energy in their areas.
