From boom to balance in Vietnam''s clean energy transition
Vietnam is now well-positioned to transition to the next phase of its clean energy journey – adopting cost-effective models such as competitive green auctions for renewables, advancing
Digitalizing Energy Storage to Power Vietnam''s Energy Future
- As Vietnam accelerates the development of wind and solar power under Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8), the national power system is facing rising demands for flexibility,
Việt Nam eyes large-scale energy storage to stabilise renewable
Under the adjusted Power Development Plan VIII (PDP VIII), Việt Nam plans to install 2,400–6,000 MW of pumped-storage hydropower and 10,000–16,300 MW of battery storage capacity
Reviewing Vietnam Renewable Energy Development
While solar dominates the conversation, Vietnam is also expanding its wind and hydro power capacity. The overall clean energy sector is expected to maintain strong momentum.

OverviewHydropowerWind energySolar energyBiomass energySolid waste energy (waste-to-energy)Geothermal energyTidal energy
Vietnam utilizes four main sources of renewable energy: hydroelectricity, wind power, solar power and biomass. At the end of 2018, hydropower was the largest source of renewable energy, contributing about 40% to the total national electricity capacity. In 2020, wind and solar had a combined share of 10% of the country''s electrical generation, already meeting the government''s 2030 goal, suggesting future displacement of growth of coal capacity. By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of solar and wind power
Vietnam boosts wind and solar goals to satisfy energy demand
Vietnam is stepping up its efforts in renewable energy by dramatically revising its targets for wind and solar power generation. The revised PDP8 outlines a goal of achieving 73 gigawatts
Vietnam to implement robust policies to support renewable growth
To alleviate the climate change effects of thermal power generation, its government is turning towards renewable power generation sources. The Vietnamese power sector presents
Renewable energy in Vietnam
Over 25% of total power capacity is from variable renewable energy sources (wind, solar). The commercial biomass electricity generation is currently slow and limited to valorizing bagasse only,
Vietnam''s solar and wind power success: Policy implications for the
