Vietnam's Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has issued a directive to ensure a reliable electricity supply from 2026 to 2030, assigning responsibilities to government ministers and state-owned energy companies. The plan addresses rising power demand and aims to prevent shortages during key political events, focusing on accelerating power generation projects, enhancing supply in northern Vietnam, and exploring imports from Laos and China. Future developments will include LNG-fired plants, hydropower expansion, and offshore wind projects, with an emphasis on establishing a competitive power market to support national energy security and economic growth.
