Vietnam Prime Minister orders urgent power supply measures for 2027–2030

energy security power supply shortage rooftop solar Battery Energy Storage Systems Power Development Plan VIII

The Vietnamese Prime Minister has directed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to implement immediate solutions to ensure national energy security and prevent power shortages during the 2027–2030 period. Following government directives, the Ministry must focus on urgent measures for 2027, including promoting rooftop solar power for households and businesses, and encouraging the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to manage peak loads.

Key infrastructure projects are also under scrutiny. The government has mandated that the Na Duong 2 and Quang Trach I thermal power plants must enter commercial operation within 2026. Additionally, the Ministry is tasked with proposing specific solar energy development quotas for provinces, particularly in the North, by late October 2026.

In parallel, the government is adjusting Power Development Plan VIII to align with long-term energy needs. The Ministry of Industry and Trade bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring a stable power supply to support socio-economic development and avoid any electricity shortages in any situation.
