1. Introdution about GSOVietnam
 The General Statistics Office (GSO) is an institution directly
under Ministry of Planning & Investment (MPI), performing the
advisory function to help the MPI Minister in doing the task of
state management in the field of statistics; conducting statistical
operations and providing socio-economic statistical information
to all agencies, organizations and individuals in accordane with
the law.
 GSO is vertically organised from central to local administrative
level, ensuring the principle of centralization and unity. It is
responsible for collection, compilation and dissemination all
national socio-economic statistical indicator.
 There are 3 levels in GSO Vietnam include: GSO centre, PSO,
DSO with 6000 statisticians.
2. National legal frameworks and stitutional
arragements
2.1.The Law on Energy Efficiency and Conversation was issued
in June 2010 by The National Assembly and Degree. The Law set
forth provisions on energy efficiency and conservation; policies and
measures to promote energy efficiency and conversation; right and
obligations of organization, households and individuals in energy
efficency and conversation.
Article 7 of this Law talk about Statistics on energy utilization:The
Ministry of Industry and Trade shall preside over coordination with
the State management authorities on statistics for submission to the
Prime Minister for approval and insuance of statistical indicators on
enegy consumption as a part of the nation statistical indicators
systerm in accordance with this Law and the Law on Statistics
2.2.The Law on Statistic was issued by The National
Assembly in June 2003 as a fundamental law on statistical
affairs of Vietnam.
Article 8 of this Law talk about: Authority to issue the
statistical indicator system: Based on requirements of socioeconomic development, the Prime Minister issues a national
statistical indicator system. The national statistical indicator
system is the foundation for assignment and coordination in
statistical activities and development of a national statistical
survey scheme and regulations on aggregated and basic
statistical reporting.
• Acording to the national statistical indicator: from 2014 GSO
Vietnam will officially provide the energy balance.
• Nowaday, GSO Vietnam only collects data energy from
organizations and households and individuals using energy in
Vietnam.
Conclusion: The legal framework of Vietnam surtify to develop
energy statistics at the monment. The GSO VN will step by step to
promote enegry statistics by recommendation of international
energy orgaination.
Vietnam Energy Overview

west, China
in the north.
• Vietnam Energy sector significantly contributes in country economic
development, growth of industry and export. Vietnam has multi
energy resources such as natural gas, oil, coal, hydropower, biomass,
wind and solar energy…, however, they are not abundant.
• According to the experts, estimated potential of oil and gas is about 4
billion TOE, 6 billion tons of coal and about 20,000 MW of
hydropower. Gas and crude oil are being exploited in the southern
offshore areas, coal is exploited in the Northern Region. From 1990,
Vietnam began exporting energy, mainly coal and crude oil.
• Diagram of energy flows in 2010 is shown in the following figure 1
Figure 2: Illustrates share of energy production by energy type in total energy production
in 2000 and 2010. In period 2001-2010, shares of coal and oil are dominant in energy
production: share of coal is increased from 15% to 35%, meanwhile oil is decreased from
39% to 23%, non-commercial energy is decreased from 33% to 21%, hydropower is
decreased from 10% to 9%. The share of gas production is increased from 3% in 2000 to
12% in 2010.

• Figure 3 : Energy consumption by sector
Industry is the biggest energy customer with share of 39.9% in total energy
consumption in 2010, increased by 30.6% in comparison to 2000.
Energy consumption in residential sector is the second largest. Share of energy
consumption by this sector in 2010 is 33.4%, reduced from 48.8% in 2000.
Transport sector’s energy consumption share in total energy consumption is
increased from 14.7% in 2000 to 22% in 2010.
Agriculture sector has the least energy consumption, with share of 1.2% in total
final energy consumption in 2010, reduced by 1.5% in comparison to 2000.
Share of final energy consumption by sector in 2010 are shown in Figure 6.
