This paper is a monograph review of two sides of energy sector industrialisation in the MD with a focus on ‘green’ and ‘grey’ socio-economic development (as ‘xanh’ and ‘xám’ in Vietnamese respectively). ‘Green’ energy is understood as the electricity generated from inexhaustible sources and known as renewable energy. It emits fewer greenhouse gases and causes less harm to habitats in comparison to traditional fossil fuels and hydropower. ‘Grey’ energy is another word for non-renewable energy or polluting energy, which can have negative effects on human health, environment, and climate. This paper finds that the MD’s energy development plans at present might not be as ‘green’ as expected, due to more ‘grey’ power plans in the planning pipeline. This paper also considers an outlook on energy prices and impacts on long-term sustainable development of the MD. | Energy development in Vietnam’s Mekong river delta: a ‘green’ or ‘grey’ outlook?
