With the FAME-II (Faster Adoption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India) scheme coming to an end in March next year, Ravneet S Phokela said Ather Energy is happy with the government support and the current levels of subsidy but hoped that it would be extended for another three to five years for acceleration of EV adoption. Policy predictability is needed to make investment plans for accelerating electric mobility in the two-wheeler segment, Ravneet S Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy, told PTI in an interview. "Two requirements, extend the period of time and importantly, let there be policy predictability," he told PTI when asked about the company's wishlist for FAME III.

ADB is helping Viet Nam expand and improve electricity services for ethnic minority communities in poor, remote areas. The project will develop five to 10 mini hydropower plants to serve communes in mountainous areas in the north. It will also support the rural electrification program and expand power coverage to five provinces and provide electricity connections to about 100,000 poor households. Component 1 of the Project will develop about 5-10 grid-connected run-of-river mini-hydropower plants of 7.5 megawatts (MW) or less capacity, totaling 30 MW in several provinces in northern and central Viet Nam. Electricity connections will be provided to about 60-75 villages in poor, remote ethnic minority areas in northern Viet Nam, and minimum 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of hydropower energy to the national grid. Component 2 of the Project will support the Government's ongoing special program of supporting rural electrification of poor provinces inhabited by ethnic minorities. The Government requested assistance to extend this program to five provinces: Dien Bien and Lai Chau in Northern region; Tra Vinh and Soc Trang in Mekong Delta; and Quang Tri in central Viet Nam. Approximately 100,000 poor households in about 1,000 villages are expected to receive electricity under this component. The Project will include an associated technical assistance (TA) grant for capacity building for renewable energy development. It will also support the rural electrification program and expand power coverage to five provinces and provide electricity connections to about 100,000 poor households.

The Climate Protection through Sustainable Bioenergy Markets in Vietnam project aims to improve the preconditions for sustainable use of biomass for electricity and heat generation in the country.The project will focus more on the improvement of planning, technical and financial capacities of respective actors in the biomass energy sector in order to realize bankable investment projects.

The main objective of the 4E Project is to further develop the legal, regulatory and institutional preconditions as well as related capacities to channel investment towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. The energy sector governance is enhanced, and the regulatory framework and legal basis are in place for the large-scale expansion of renewable energy as well as the implementation of energy efficiency measures and for the compliance with the climate change commitments of Viet Nam. Further depth has been added to the specialist knowledge of decision-makers for the successful formulation and implementation of policy guidelines in the sector.

The USAID Vietnam Urban Energy Security project works closely with the Government of Vietnam (GVN) at the city, provincial, and national levels to improve legislation related to clean energy, mobilize investment, and increase the adoption and deployment of innovative energy solutions.

CASE aims to drive change in the power sector in SEA towards increased ambitions with regards to climate change. It is a regional program that focuses on four countries: Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam which represent around 80% of the total energy share in SEA. Therefore, the energy development of those countries will have a major impact on the ability of the region to meet its goals.
