On 15 April 2025, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued Decision No. 768/QD-TTg, approving the revised National Power Development Plan for the period 2021–2030, with a vision to 2050 (“Adjusted PDP 8”). This decision takes effect immediately upon issuance and replaces Decision No. 500/QD-TTg, dated 15 May 2023, which previously approved the national power development plan for the same period (“PDP 8”).
The Adjusted PDP8 identifies the total power capacity to meet domestic demand. Excluding exports, the projected capacity is adjusted to 183,291 – 236,363 MW by 2030, representing an increase of approximately 27,747 – 80,819 MW from 2023’s PDP 8. This increase primarily results from renewable energy sources and battery energy storage solutions (BESS).
Details of the power capacity targets of each power source in the Adjusted PDP8, compared to the PDP 8 is presented here.
