Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing manufacturing hubs, demanding an immense supply of reliable power towards its short-term 2030 and long-term net-zero goals for 2050. While the country saw an unprecedented boom in solar and wind capacity; it has reverted to fire-coal production (54.5%) of energy production to subsidise the hydro-electric production shortfall in 2026 due to the drought and increased domestic usage.
Where do the opportunities and obstacles lie for Vietnam in relation to grid capacity, transmission infrastructure and bankability?
