The highlight of the HLM was the presentation of policy recommendations by the VEPG’s Technical Working Groups (TWG) aimed at boosting the development of Viet Nam’s energy sector in 5 key priority areas, namely Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Energy Sector Reform, Energy Access and Energy Data and Statistics. Each TWG delivered and discussed a set of concrete policy recommendations, developed through extensive research and dialogue by the TWG members over the past year.
