Power sector seeking ways to grow further
Vietnam is striving for a commercial electricity output of 337.5 billion kWh by 2025 and 478.1 billion kWh by 2030, down 15 billion kWh and nearly 230 billion kWh compared with those in the adjusted Power Planning VII.
The revision was contained in a report from the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) delivered to the National Assembly Economic Committee’s session on September 7 reviewing the electricity sector and electricity development measures by 2030 to better meet socio-economic development requirements.
The report highlighted that Vietnam’s power output enjoyed a ten-fold increase from 1990 to 2019. As of late 2019, total produced and imported electricity output was 239 billion kWh.
Special attention was paid to building and upgrading power supply infrastructure. All communes and 99.52 percent of households now have access to electricity.
