Vietnam: 15.8% of energy lost

Power loss in Vietnam is so huge that if, over the next five years, the country can reduce loss by 1% per annum, a further 3.4 GWh will be available, equivalent to the production of a 500-600 MW power plant. Meanwhile, other sources of fossil energy sources like coal, crude oil, and gas will be unable to meet development needs after 2020.

To make one US dollar in added value, Vietnam expends more energy than other countries in the region by around 30-40%. The country cannot maintain its current GDP growth at this loss rate.
