The Energy Policy Tracker has finished its first phase of tracking related to the Covid-19 recovery. Our dataset for 2020-2021 is complete. A new dataset on energy policies in the context of multiple crises will be launched in the coming year.

Vietnam

In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Vietnam has committed at least USD 475.08 million to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:

  • No public money commitments identified for unconditional fossil fuels
  • No public money commitments identified for conditional fossil fuels
  • Some public money committed for unconditional clean energy (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified)
  • No public money commitments identified for conditional clean energy
  • At least USD 475.08 million for other energy through 1 policy (1 quantified)

By energy type, no public money commitments identified for oil and gas.

In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.

Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.

Finally, no public money commitments identified for multiple fossil fuels.

A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Vietnam through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.

These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.
