Vietnam has officially approved a revised version of its national power development plan, allocating $136bn (€119bn) by 2030 to strengthen long-term energy security and including nuclear power for the first time. The
1. Executive Summary Electricity consumption in Vietnam is on a rapid rise with a growth rate of 11% over the last 5 years and is expected to nearly triple from 2018 through to 20301. In large
Average annual investment in solar solutions needs to double from 2021 through 2030 if the world is to achieve the Paris climate goals and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
By developing domestic production capacity for solar panels, batteries, and related technologies, Vietnam could reduce import dependence while creating high-value jobs and fostering technological innovation.
The plan also reintroduces nuclear power into Vietnam''s long-term strategy, with Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 expected to operate between 2030 and 2035, each with a capacity of 2,000–3,200MW.
EVN''s 50 MW Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) pilot project, in collaboration with ADB and GEAPP, aims for 300 MW by 2030. Vietnam is the fastest-growing energy market in Asia, according to the

To meet the country’s target of having 12 GW of solar power capacity installed by 2030, the Government of Vietnam should consider a deployment strategy that builds experience, lowers costs, and maximizes economic benefits.
The future of Vietnam’s solar power capacity looks bright, with several key developments on the horizon: Capacity Growth: Projections suggest that Vietnam’s solar power capacity could reach 25-30 GW by 2030, contributing significantly to the country’s renewable energy targets.
Vietnam is making significant strides in its renewable energy sector, focusing on solar power as a key component of its energy strategy. By 2030, the country aims to generate 16% of its energy from solar, driven by substantial investments in solar farms across the nation.
Under PDP8, 50% of Vietnam’s installed power capacity will come from solar and wind by 2050, more than double today’s share. Solar alone is projected to make up 34.4% of total power capacity by that time. To meet its net-zero target by 2050, Vietnam will need massive investments, or an estimated $2.4 trillion between 2024 and 2050.
The introduction of the FiT was a significant catalyst, driving a rapid increase in solar capacity and establishing Vietnam as a leader in Southeast Asia’s renewable energy landscape. Although the FiT mechanism has since expired, new opportunities have emerged to sustain and expand solar energy development in the country.
As of 2024, the country’s total installed solar capacity has reached an impressive 16.5 gigawatts (GW), a significant increase from just 0.1 GW in 2018. This exponential growth has positioned Vietnam as one of the leading countries in Southeast Asia for solar energy adoption.
