Abstract

This research analysis of characteristics, technological and legal problems, as well as factors for the development of renewable energy sources in Vietnam. Research into influencing factors, needs and market trends. Recommendations for the development of the energy sector based on strategic analysis, energy innovation and the circular economy. Currently, the need for an increase in electricity production is ensured by coal production (more than 35%) and hydroelectric dams (more than 30%), which determines the strategic importance of the fossil energy and hydropower sectors. The adoption of sustainable development goals, in the context of the global trend towards a low-carbon economy, has led to state programs to develop the energy sector in the direction of reducing the volume of fossil energy production, Reduce negative impacts from hydroelectric dams on the environment and replace them with more environmentally friendly green energy sources. However, the alternative energy infrastructure is not yet fully developed, allowing it to completely replace fossil energy and traditional hydroelectric dams as alternative energy sources in the medium and long term. Therefore, for the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the urgent task is the stable response to the energy needs of the economy, a solution that takes into account national interests. The document presents various solutions to this problem, such as more effective planning, digitalization of various activities, and a better understanding of available resources to meet energy needs.
