The power sector is a key CO2 emitter in Viet Nam and it is projected to be the most significant by 2030 as in the country’s Updated NDC. This study investigates the options for Viet Nam’s power sector to reduce CO2 emissions based on the priority principle: energy security, affordability, and higher emission reduction. Four scenarios are developed and evaluated. A combination of power balance, hourly economic dispatch, and grid models are used to assess the supply and demand balance and security of supply for a whole year at hourly resolution.
