Project Overview

Power consumption in Vietnam has been growing by about 15 percent annually for the last several years. Unfortunately, the predominant use of coal-fired electricity generation contributes to a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions and poor air quality for inhabitants in the areas where these energy plants exist. Hydropower is part of a plan the Vietnamese government has developed to increase access to clean electricity for its population.

Solution Description

The Za Hung Hydropower project aims to harness renewable energy through two turbines, supplying clean electricity to thousands of homes and supporting the country’s growing energy needs. By integrating sustainable power into the grid, it hopes to reduce reliance on coal, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a low-carbon environment.

Impact

The Za Hung project aims to promote sustainable development in the region by creating local job opportunities and providing ongoing training in areas such as health, safety, and plant operations. Beyond employment, it seeks to also contribute to the community by improving electricity access, drainage, and roads, while also enhancing air quality. Additionally, the project offers annual support and donations to disadvantaged residents, fostering long-term social and economic benefits.
