Over the past 20 years, Vietnam has reached a remarkable GDP growth rate of between 6-7% per year. This is the main driver for rapidly increasing annual electricity production, which rose more than tenfold during this period. An energy transition is also taking place in Vietnam, with a focus on shifting from fossil fuels to cleaner energy resources including LNG and renewables. Therefore, going forward, the country needs a highly-skilled, technical workforce, which can help accelerate the transition to more advanced and innovative energy options and technologies.
