EVSET Facility launches a call for technical assistance towards sustainable energy transition for non-MOIT entities
*
The EU - Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Facility (EVSET Facility) has launched the first Call for Technical Assistance for non-MOIT entities within the “EU - Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Programme” (SETP) funded by the European Union (EU).
The Technical Assistance (TA) to non-MOIT entities will contribute to the objectives of the SETP to accelerate the sustainable energy transition in Vietnam. Its goals are to (i) improve energy efficiency, (ii) increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, and (iii) improve the performance of the Viet Nam Energy Information System (VEIS).
Each TA will be between EUR 50,000 and EUR 100,000 in terms of estimated cost and shall not exceed 12 months of implementation.
This Call for Technical Assistance is open from 5 June 2023 and will close on 28 July 2023 at 23:59 (Hanoi time).
All relevant information about the Call can be found via: https://setp.vn/call-for-technical-assistance. Please register for the Information Session to be held on 28 June 2023 via: http://link.setp.vn/phienthongtin.

ABOUT SETP
The European Union (EU) and the Government of Viet Nam are working together on a sustainable energy transition in Viet Nam. For this purpose, the EU and the Government of Viet Nam adopted the EU – Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Programme (SETP) on 31 December 2021. This joint programme re-affirms the EU’s close cooperation and long-term commitment to Viet Nam’s goal of clean energy transition to meet the country’s net zero emissions target by 2050.
The SETP, with an EU grant of EUR 142 million, will be implemented from 2022 to 2027. It follows the success of the EU - Viet Nam Energy Sector Policy Support Program, a EUR 108 million grant by the EU for Viet Nam implemented from 2018 to 2021.
ABOUT EVSET FACILITY
As one of the four complementary measures of the SETP, the EU – Viet Nam Sustainable Energy Transition Facility (EVSET Facility) will provide complementary support to the SETP and the EU support to the energy sector in Viet Nam. The Facility is implemented by a Stantec-led Consortium, including Centre for Energy Environment Resources Development (CEERD), Danish Energy Management (DEM) and SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV).
