Vietnam electricity production rises 14.3% in October

Vietnam's national power system maintained safe and continuous operation in October 2026, with total electricity production and imports reaching 31.58 billion kWh, a 14.3% increase compared to the same period in 2025. For the first ten months of the year, cumulative production reached 297.4 billion kWh, up 9.8% year-on-year.

Vietnam Electricity (EVN) is accelerating key power source and grid projects. The Quang Trach I Thermal Power Plant has largely completed its two coal-fired units, which have already supplied 620 million kWh to the national grid. Additionally, construction is underway for the Quang Trach II LNG Thermal Power Plant and the Tri An Hydropower Plant expansion. EVN has also completed several high-voltage grid projects, including infrastructure to support the 2027 APEC Conference in Phu Quoc.

EVNGENCO1 reported that its October production exceeded 3.5 billion kWh, surpassing its monthly plan by 26%. The company expects to produce approximately 37.8 billion kWh for the full year 2026, exceeding targets set by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. To ensure stability, the company is maintaining high coal inventories and monitoring hydrological developments to prepare for the 2026-2027 dry season.
