The swift growth of solar and wind energy in Vietnam is putting excessive pressure on the country's electricity grid. Although the Smart Grid Development Roadmap of Vietnam has been implemented since 2012 and attained certain achievements, it needs to be updated to address the current shortcomings preventing smart grid development and constraining the greater penetration of renewable energy in the national grid.

This project, a collaboration between ETP and the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam (ERAV), aims to address this gap by developing a Smart Grid Development Roadmap for the period up to 2030, with a vision for 2050. This roadmap will provide a strategic plan for the efficient and effective integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage, and demand response management into the grid, enabling the grid to operate in a more resilient, secure, and sustainable manner. This project will contribute to a common goal of smart grid development, thus ensuring a smooth transition towards a smarter and more efficient energy system.
