Affordable and reliable power for all in Vietnam progress report
Résumé
This statistical report contribute facts and numbers on the state of access to electricity for all in Vietnam, based on large-scale surveys conducted in the time period 2008-2014. Its theoretical contribution to debates on energy poverty is to account for the human dimension by using an self-reported satisfaction indicator. Surveys asked people if respondents had enough electricity to meet their households needs. We find that in Vietnam, the problem of providing access to clean energy for all is largely solved for now. The fraction of households without access to electricity is below two percent. This represents in the order of a million people. And the fraction of households declaring unsatisfied electricity needs is below three percent. The median level of electricity usage in 2014 was 100 kWh per month per household. An overwhelming majority of households spend less than 6% of their income on electricity, but the effort level is increasing. Highlights In 2014, 97.7 % of households in Vietnam used grid electricity for lighting. In 2014, out of four Vietnamese households, one used less than 50 kWh per month, and another between 50 kWh and 100 kWh. In 2014, 95 % of Vietnamese households devote less than 6.2 % of income to electricity. Between 2010 and 2014, the share of income that Vietnamese households devote to electricity increased by about one third. In 2010, one out of four households in Vietnam declared that their electricity use was insufficient to meet their needs. That ratio dropped under 3 % in 2014. In 2014, half of the households in Vietnam who declared insufficient electricity used less than 22 kWh per month. In 2014, among households using less than 22 kWh per month, only one out of six declared that their needs were not met.
