Vietnam has adjusted its Power Development Plan and issued various legal instruments as it readies the bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sector for a new era of development.

bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu

The National Assembly (NA) has set an ambitious goal of 8 per cent economic growth in 2025 and double-digit growth from 2026 to 2030. To realize this vision, a key driving force will be bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu, particularly electricity and sustainable, green bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources. The Vietnam Economic Association (VEA) and the Vietnam Clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Association, in partnership with Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy / Tap chi Kinh te Viet Nam, recently organized the Vietnam bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Forum 2025, with the theme “Green and Clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Towards a New Economic Era: Solutions to Promote the Development of New bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Sources in Vietnam.” The event sparked meaningful discussions about the existing bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu landscape and the exciting potential of renewable, green, and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu for Vietnam’s future.

‘Lifeblood’ of the economy

In his opening address, Dr. Chu Van Lam, Permanent Vice President of the VEA and Chairman of the Editorial Board at Vietnam Economic Times, emphasized the urgency of developing renewable, green, and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu. To meet economic growth targets of over 8 per cent in 2025 and strive for double-digit growth during the period from 2026 onwards, and to respond to strategic changes in operational methods, which include education, labor, and production, primarily based on digital platforms, it is essential to adjust and plan the necessary resources more effectively. One of the most fundamental and vital resources is electricity and green, clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources. To meet urgent development goals, the demand for electricity has been calculated by management agencies and experts as increasing by 12-16 per cent annually.

From a practical perspective, especially the need for electricity to support economic development, the Party, State, NA, and government have paid significant attention in recent years to developing bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources. This is reflected in strategic orientation documents such as Politburo Resolution No. 55-NQ/TW, issued on February 11, 2020, which outlines Vietnam’s National bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Development Strategy to 2030 with a Vision to 2045.

On May 15, 2023, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 500/QD-TTg, approving the National Power Development Plan for 2021-2030, with a Vision for 2050 (PDP8). The plan outlines specific directions for developing bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources, particularly prioritizing the development of renewable, green, and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu.

In particular, in the context of needing acceleration and breakthroughs to propel the country into a “New Era - The era of the nation’s rise”, on November 25, 2024, the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam agreed to restart the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project in the south-central region and continue researching Vietnam’s nuclear bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu program to ensure national bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu security, meet socio-economic development goals, enhance scientific and technological capacity, and contribute to sustainable national development.

Furthermore, on November 30, 2024, during the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly, the NA officially passed the amended Law on Electricity, replacing the Law on Electricity 2004. The Law on Electricity 2024, effective from February 1, 2025, is expected to resolve existing difficulties and obstacles in the power industry, ensure electricity bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu security, aim for net-zero emissions, and contribute to the sustainable and efficient development of the electricity sector, ensuring sufficient electricity supply for socio-economic development and people’s daily life.

Most recently, on March 3, 2025, the government issued Decree No. 58/2025/ND-CP, providing detailed regulations on several provisions of the Law on Electricity related to the development of renewable and new bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu. This Decree is an important step in promoting sustainable development in the electricity sector, ensuring bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu security, and minimizing environmental impact. It also serves as a positive signal for investors in the renewable bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sector in Vietnam.

Challenges and strategic directions

While numerous mechanisms and policies have been introduced, discussions at the recent Forum highlighted that the development of renewable, green, and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu in Vietnam is currently facing significant challenges. Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Association, pointed out the real risk of an electricity shortage between 2026 and 2028. This concern arises from the slow pace of electricity generation, coupled with the stagnation in the expansion of renewable bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources.

Mr. Tuan highlighted four reasons behind this. First, the slow implementation of plans. Second, the delayed resolution of projects continues to be an issue. Third, while offshore wind bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu regulations have become clearer, they remain insufficient for effective deployment. As a result, no offshore wind projects have been launched as yet, threatening the target of reaching 6,000 MW by 2030. Finally, although there is a direction to transition from coal-fired thermal power to gas-fired power, progress has been slow.

To address these obstacles in developing renewable and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu, on December 31, 2024, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1710/QD-TTg approving the task of adjusting the PDP8.

On February 19, 2025, the Council for Appraisal of the Adjustment of PDP8 unanimously approved the adjusted plan. This outlines an additional 27,747-80,819 MW of electricity generation capacity, up from the original PDP8. Notably, the adjusted plan includes the addition of the Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 Nuclear Power Plants, with a total capacity of 6,000-6,400 MW, expected to be operational between 2030 and 2035. The system will need to add approximately 4,500-5,000 MW of nuclear power in the north and around 3,000 MW in the central region by 2050, mostly in the form of small modular reactors (SMR) to provide base load power for the system.

Mr. Tuan emphasized that the adjusted PDP8 significantly increases the scale of solar and wind bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu capacity, presenting a promising opportunity for investors. The pricing of electricity will vary by region, reflecting the investment signals and production costs. The draft also introduces significant expansion of pumped storage hydropower, battery storage, and flexible power sources. This opens up ample investment opportunities in new services like ancillary services for the power system and the production of new fuels, such as green hydrogen and ammonia.

To accelerate implementation, Mr. Tuan recommended quickly finalizing regulatory documents, including the amended Law on Atomic bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu and the Law on bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu Efficiency and Conservation. For subordinate documents, regulations on flexible power source pricing, pumped storage hydropower pricing, and the development of renewable and new bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu sources should be issued to support their growth.

Experts attending the forum agreed that Vietnam is at a critical juncture with a major opportunity to develop green and clean bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu, ensuring bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu security and sustainable development. However, to successfully achieve this goal, close collaboration between the government, businesses, citizens, and professional associations is essential. With strong political will, coordinated action across ministries, and active private sector involvement both domestically and internationally, renewable and new bet88 nhà cái đến từ châu âu will become a solid foundation, driving economic and social growth in the new era while aligning with sustainable development.
