On 1 April 2024, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued Decision 262/QD-TTg approving the plan to implement the National Electricity Development Plan for the period 2021 – 2030 (PDP8 Implementation Plan). The highly anticipated PDP8 Implementation Plan provides details of important power source projects as the industry’s investment priorities until 2030.
With respect to renewable energy, the total capacity to be developed by 2030 with different sources of energy and the list of power generation projects are also provided in the PDP8 Implementation Plan. The following chart provides a summary of the renewable energy capacity by 2030.
