First, the capability of electricity production will have to
meet the demand of industrialization and social-econmic
growth in the stage of economic restructure in the coming
years, particularly the development of heavy industry
and the infrastructure industry. Compared with the ability
of electricity production in 2008, Vietnam generated 73
049 million kWh, reaching 49.54% against Thailand (147
427 triệu kWh), 75% against Malaysia (97,392 triệu kWh)
and 48.88% against Indonesia (149,437 triệu kWh). In
2010, Vietnam produced 96.000 million kWh, not as
much as Malaysia in 2008 although the population is 4
times higher. While it is unable to speed up the capacity
of production and reduce loss of electricity during the
transmission process, the efficiency of using consumption
electricity is the number 2 best solution. According
to the national target until 2015, the rate of 5% - 8% of
saving consumption electricity will be reached. This is
just a side of the measure and cannot replace the number
1 best solution in which the capacity of electricity manufacture
will be increased to meet the demand of national
development.
