Abstract

Vietnam’s electricity consumption relative to its average national income per capita is significantly higher than that of similar countries like India or China. Current electricity use is not sustainable and in the future may threaten energy supply security. Of the total electricity consumption, the residential sector accounts for up to a third, making it a critical component for policy interventions. We employ a stochastic frontier model and three rounds of nationally representative household living standards surveys from 2014 to 2018 to measure residential electricity efficiency and its determinants in Vietnam. Our result shows that the average electricity efficiency in Vietnam is approximately 75 %. We then discuss Vietnam’s potential electricity savings and recommend improvements which will be necessary if Vietnam wants to accelerate its long-term clean and sustainable energy prospects.

居民用电效率及对越南清洁能源转型的影响

越南的用电量与其人均国民收入相比，明显高于印度或中国等类似国家。目前的用电量是不可持续的，未来可能会威胁到能源供应安全。在总用电量中，住宅部门的用电量高达三分之一，因此成为政策干预的关键部分。我们采用随机前沿模型和 2014 年至 2018 年的三轮具有全国代表性的家庭生活水平调查来衡量越南的居民用电效率及其决定因素。结果显示，越南的平均用电效率约为 75%。然后，我们讨论了越南的潜在节电潜力，并提出了改进建议，如果越南希望加快其长期清洁和可持续能源的发展前景，这些建议将是必要的。

期刊介绍： The Electricity Journal is the leading journal in electric power policy. The journal deals primarily with fuel diversity and the energy mix needed for optimal energy market performance, and therefore covers the full spectrum of energy, from coal, nuclear, natural gas and oil, to renewable energy sources including hydro, solar, geothermal and wind power. Recently, the journal has been publishing in emerging areas including energy storage, microgrid strategies, dynamic pricing, cyber security, climate change, cap and trade, distributed generation, net metering, transmission and generation market dynamics. The Electricity Journal aims to bring together the most thoughtful and influential thinkers globally from across industry, practitioners, government, policymakers and academia. The Editorial Advisory Board is comprised of electric industry thought leaders who have served as regulators, consultants, litigators, and market advocates. Their collective experience helps ensure that the most relevant and thought-provoking issues are presented to our readers, and helps navigate the emerging shape and design of the electricity/energy industry.
