Expert: Law on renewable energy needed
A law on renewable energy is needed to ensure sustainable and effective development of renewable energy, according to Dr. Duong Duy Hoat from the Institute of Energy Science. The Government needs to instruct ministries, sectors and localities to make plans for developing renewable energy on the basis of forecasts on demand and supply capacity. Developing national criteria and regulations on renewable energy is also necessary, Hoat said, adding that a fund should be established to ensure financial resources for renewable energy research and development. Incentives should be offered to encourage international and domestic enterprises to participate in the sector, while promoting communication work to raise public awareness of the role and value of renewable energy in sustainable development, according to Hoat.
