The GIZ Energy Support Programme is working with the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) on the development of the energy sector in Viet Nam. The current technological focus is on solar power, wind power, bioenergy, renewable energy, energy efficiency and smart grid.
The project Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) aims to drive substantial change in the Southeast Asian power sector towards an increased ambition with regards to climate change mitigation and implementation of political commitment to comply with the Paris Agreement.
The project focuses on the four largest countries of the region in terms of population: Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand, and the Philippines (the four countries represent nearly three-quarters of total power generation in SEA, and account for about 72% of the region's GDP and for 82% of its population), where the energy development will therefore have a major impact on the ability of the region to meet both development and sustainability goals.
The implementing consortium of CASE is made up by eight organisations led by the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ), two international and five local expert organisations. The project's outcomes will directly contribute to the transition of the power sector towards an innovative, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly model for SEA.
