Vietnam Power Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Vietnam power market reached approximately 416.59 TWh in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.60% between 2025 and 2034, aided by the increasing production of renewable energy.

Vietnam Power Market Growth

Vietnam Electricity (EVN) reported that the country's renewable energy production increased significantly to an impressive 37,865 GWh in 2022. This growth has positioned Vietnam as the leading renewable energy producer in Southeast Asia, contributing to 69% of the region's solar and wind power generation by 2022. The initial plan aimed for 800 MW of wind power by 2020, with a goal of 2,000 MW by 2025. However, by May 2023, the combined capacity of wind, solar, and rooftop solar projects in Vietnam had already exceeded expectations, reaching a total of 21,839 MW, surpassing the targets outlined in PDP7.

Vietnam's rapid industrialisation has led to a significant increase in the demand for energy, particularly electricity. With a large population and strong economic growth, Vietnam is considered one of the fastest-growing energy markets in Asia. The country is facing a surge in power demand, as reported by the Institute of Energy of Vietnam (IEV), which is anticipated to impact its energy security. The Vietnamese government anticipates an annual growth rate of 10-12% in power consumption until 2030, making it one of the highest in Asia.

The anticipated Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) received approval on May 15, 2023, covering the timeframe from 2021 to 2030. As outlined in PDP8, the projected total power capacity to be installed by 2030 will reach approximately 146,000 MW and escalate to over 416,000 MW by 2045. It is envisioned that coal will contribute around 30,000 MW towards power generation by 2030. With the diminishing role of coal in power generation, natural gas, solar, and wind energy sources are expected to account for a larger percentage in the forecast period.
