Abstract

In the context of Vietnam’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, improving energy efficiency has become one of the key solutions to ensure energy security and fulfill international obligations. The Energy Service Company (ESCO) model has been present in Vietnam for nearly two decades. However, the market remains immature and underdeveloped. This paper analyzes the main legal barriers hindering the development of ESCOs. By referencing international experience, the author proposes solutions to improve the legal framework governing ESCOs in Vietnam. These recommendations aim to establish a transparent and sustainable ESCO market, thereby contributing to the acceleration of the national energy transition.
