Project Overview
In recent years, Vietnam has experienced a severe electricity shortage due to rapidly increasing demand and insufficient supply. This has negatively impacted both the country’s economic growth and the daily lives of the Vietnamese people. In the mountainous area where this project is located, traditional sources of light and heat come from burning wood or using diesel generators, both of which are dirty and inefficient, with adverse effects on human health and the environment.
