The Vietnam Energy Conservation and the Ballast
Market in Vietnam

• By Do Gia Phan
• Vice-president
• Vietnam Standard and Consumers Association
  (VINASTAS)
• Greetings from Vietnam!

General Country Information

• South East Asia developing country, a peninsula
  looking on the Pacific Ocean, common border with
  China Laos and Cambodia.
• Area 320 000km2
• Population 80 million inhabitants.
• Economic system Market oriented Economy.
• GDP per capita USD472 (in 2003)

Energy situation in Vietnam

• High potential of sources of energy (Petrol, gas,
  coal, hydro power), but the exploitation is
  limited.
• Export near than 20 million tons of crude oil, 10
  million tons of coal in 2003.
• Import about 7 million tons of refined oil
  (benzene, petrol, oil) per year.
• Lack of energy for development (electricity
  exported to Laos, imported from China)

Energy situation in Vietnam (cont.)

• Total installed capacity 8 860 MW ( by the end
  of 2002).
• Average growth rate in 15 years 7/year.
• Power station types (by the end of 2002 )
• Thermal (Coal and oil) 13.60.
• Gas-turbine (Oil and gas) 29.40.
• Hydro power 50.80.
• Total electricity generated 46 billion kWh -
  (estimated in 2004).
• Electric energy per capita 575 kWh per capita
  (estimated in 2004).

Energy conservation in Vietnam

• Since 1995, Vietnam launched an Energy
  conservation program, but made not much
  progress.
• Recently, the Vietnam government issued the
  Decree No 102/2003/ND - CP on 3/9/2003 on the
  Economic and efficient use of energy, regulating
  the criteria for lighting in big building, for
  energy consumed appliances in industry and
  households. The decree also regulates the
  labeling of energy consumed appliances standard.
• Appliances meet certain level of energy
  efficiency can be labeled to certify the
  satisfaction of the standard required.

• Total energy used for household appliances Over
  46 of total electricity consumed.
• Electricity used for lighting 19.2 of total
  electricity consumed.
• Total ballasts used 32 million pieces
  (estimated)
• Total ballasts needed each year 4 million

Ballast Market in Vietnam (cont.)

• Typical lighting technologies
• For household use
• Incandescent lamps - popular in rural areas
• Fluorescent lamp - popular in urban areas.
• Compact fluorescent lamps - Just at the beginning
• Industrial, commerce, public lighting (beside the
  three types)
• Metal halide, sodium, mercury lamps

14
Local Institutional Framework

• Electricity law recently issued by the National
  Assembly
• Standards on lighting and lighting products
  available
• Standard Institute (Subordinated to the
  Directorate for Standard and Quality - DSQ)
• Three technique Centers in the North (No1), in
  the south (No3) and in the middle region (No2)
• Testing facilities available in VILABs, in
  Universities and in three technique centers
• Testing standard - Compiled by the Standard
  Institute (voluntary except in Hygiene and Safety
• Enterprise standard - Must be proclaimed
  officially and compulsory in enterprise.

15
National SL Programs

• National energy conservation programs.
• Demand side management (DSM) program by EVN.
• Minimum performance standards for Motors and
  Lighting products.
• Research and pilot study on efficient lighting
  (Compact fluorescent lamps replace incandescent
  lamps for street lighting in small road).
• Standard and Labeling program initiated by
  VINASTAS for ballasts and household lighting
  products for the period 2004 - 2006.
