The rapid economic growth in Vietnam has resulted in an increasing demand for electricity. This in turn translates to a higher rate of coal resource extraction and consequent rise in pollution of water and land resources. This study estimated the environmental costs associated with the electricity demand requirements of the coal electricity sector, as a component of the long-run marginal opportunity cost (LR-MOC) of electricity production. | Electricity Pricing for North Vietnam Nguyen Van Song and Nguyen Van Hanh October 2001 Comments should be sent to Nguyen Van Song PHD Student c o Department of Economics College of Economics and Management University of the Philippines at Los Banos College Laguna 4031 Philippines.
