The 2004 Electricity Law has established a legal framework for electricity activities and electricity use. However, after nearly 20 years of implementation, it is necessary to conduct research to amend, supplement, and promptly adjust social relations arising in the practice of electricity activities and electricity use.
On October 21, the 15th National Assembly will open its 8th session. At this session, the National Assembly will give opinions and decide on many important issues, including the draft Law on Electricity (amended).
According to Dr. Nguyen Quoc Thap, Chairman of the Vietnam Petroleum Association, the full institutionalization of the contents of Resolution 55-NQ/TW, Conclusion 76-KL/TW and the Party's guidelines and policies into the Electricity Law will encourage and create favorable conditions for domestic and foreign organizations and individuals to participate in electricity activities in Vietnam; create unity and synchronization in the legal system; promote investment in the energy sector in general and the electricity sector in particular to meet the needs of socio-economic development.
Therefore, Chairman of the Vietnam Petroleum Association Nguyen Quoc Thap said that for professional associations, agencies, corporations, and energy enterprises, this is an important stage to exchange arguments, assessments both in terms of law and practice, and to review and contribute opinions to the draft Electricity Law, in which policy mechanisms need to be urgently developed and submitted to the National Assembly for promulgation.
