This statistical report contribute facts and numbers on the state of access to electricity for all in
Vietnam, based on large-scale surveys conducted in the time period 2008-2014. Its theoretical
contribution to debates on energy poverty is to account for the human dimension by using an selfreported
satisfaction indicator. Surveys asked people if respondents had enough electricity to meet
their households needs. We find that in Vietnam, the problem of providing access to clean energy
for all is largely solved for now. The fraction of households without access to electricity is below
two percent. This represents in the order of a million people. And the fraction of households
declaring unsatisfied electricity needs is below three percent. The median level of electricity usage
in 2014 was 100 kWh per month per household. An overwhelming majority of households spend
less than 6% of their income on electricity, but the effort level is increasing.
