| Summary: | This report assesses current energy
expansion planning practices in Vietnam. This assessment
comprises both technical aspects (methodology, planning
criteria, construction of scenarios, sensitivity analysis
and others) and evaluation of recent planning studies. In
addition to an assessment of planning practices, it includes
proposing a number of scenarios for the local consultant to
carry out least cost runs, including lower rates of demand
growth, different fuel price assumptions and delays in plant
construction, to assess the viability of specific projects
without forcing them into the system plan. This report is
the deliverable for Task 1, with an overview and comments of
current practices for system expansion planning, hydropower
and thermal power planning in Vietnam. The report also
covers Task 2, by proposing and agreeing scenarios after
meetings with IoE. Chapters 2 through 5 describe the current
planning practices and the basic components and assumption
of the IoE planning scenarios and outputs, namely: (i) load
scenario; (ii) planning guidelines; (iii) planning objective
and computational tools; and (iv) generation expansion plan.
Chapter 6 presents suggestions for sensitivity scenarios,
used to evaluate the competitiveness of the Trung Son hydro
project and the Nghi Son thermal project. |
