According to Dr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc Nguyen, to promote the potential of renewable energy, it is necessary to promote cooperation between countries in removing barriers, including intellectual property rights barriers to enhance knowledge sharing and promote cooperation in scientific research, development, and transfer of renewable energy technology. Policy plays an important role in promoting the energy transition process, so there needs to be appropriate mechanisms and policies to encourage the business community to increase investment in renewable energy, as well as promote energy transition.

The UK Government considers cooperating with Viet Nam and supporting the country in energy transition as a top priority. As Vietnam receives more attention from international investors, the energy transition, especially in the fields of production, is meaningful and inevitable. With the advantage of being an academic and research center, EIU is one of the typical models in terms of innovation and technology on this journey.

Ms. Emibly Hamblin - British Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City speaks at the program.

"The Smart grid is an advanced concept that might be part of the solution for energy systems around the world. However, this technology is still quite new in Viet Nam.

Focus on solving difficulties and creating conditions for development

Presenting the current difficulties that Phu Giao is facing, Mr. Nguyen Khoa Hai – Secretary of the District Party Committee said that the need for capital in the period of 2021 - 2025 to invest in urgent and widespread projects creates momentum for development in a large district. However, the province's allocation targets for the district are low and do not meet investment needs. The work of land valuation is difficult because very few consulting units participate due to the high risk. In addition, the method of comparing similar locations when determining land prices according to current regulations is difficult to implement. It leads to the difficulty of determining land prices and affecting the implementation of works and investment projects.

Compensation and resettlement support when recovering land to implement investment projects is difficult because people complain about compensation prices that are not close to market prices. Besides, the preparation of project documents must go through many steps and take time, which leads to fluctuations in land prices. Some criteria for building new rural areas are set, and it is hard to implement in a short time. A significant amount of time and capital resources are required.

Leaders of Phu Giao district proposed that the province consider transferring about 236 billion VND of central capital to other projects that need to use central capital in 2024. It is necessary to consider creating conditions for capital sources and approval of investment so that the district has a basis to carry out legal documents for arranged projects for preparation in the 2024 public investment capital plan and average capital in the period of 2021 – 2025. The district must work with Binh Phuoc Province to discuss research and investment for the road connecting Chon Thanh - Phu Giao - Dong Phu, creating motivation for socio-economic development in the Northern communes of Phu Giao district and other localities of Chon Thanh town and Dong Phu district, etc.

Based on the requests of the Phu Giao District People's Committee, at the meeting, the units discussed difficulties and solutions for Phu Giao to achieve the set goals in 2024.

However, these are projects with very large investment capital, so Phu Giao district is requested to review and balance the province's key projects and prioritize site clearance. The Department will consider balancing capital to implement feasible projects. Regarding the allocation of central capital, the Department will study and advise the PPC to arrange appropriate capital sources.
