Vietnam power grid infrastructure development

Overview

Vietnam continues to expand its power grid and transmission infrastructure to meet rising demand. In Central Vietnam, the Central Vietnam Power Corporation (EVNCPC) is investing approximately 4,324 billion VND into the Quảng Trị province grid for 2026–2030. This includes 12 categories of 110kV projects to add 102.5 km of transmission lines and nearly 400 MVA of transformer capacity, targeting a projected 13,000 MW increase in power capacity. EVNCPC officials have conducted field inspections in the Trieu Phong and Hai Lang districts to ensure the grid can support industrial projects like the Southeast Quang Tri Economic Zone and the Capella Quang Tri Industrial Park.

In Northern Vietnam, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) is accelerating four critical projects: 500 kV substations in Hai Phong, Thai Binh, and Bac Ninh, and a 220 kV substation in Yen Dung. While land clearance is progressing, projects face hurdles such as bidding delays for equipment and difficulties sourcing materials like leveling sand. The Northern Power Corporation (EVNNPC) reported an 11.49% increase in commercial electricity output for the first nine months of 2026, reaching 89.31 billion kWh. To manage this, the corporation energized 45 110kV grid projects and 801 medium and low-voltage projects, contributing to a 50.14% decrease in average power outage time.

In Southern Vietnam, the Southern Power Corporation (EVNSPC) commenced 46 110kV grid projects and energized 64 projects at the 220kV and 110kV levels during the first nine months of 2026, with a disbursement of 13,278.3 billion VND. EVNSPC is prioritizing industrial zones and aims to extend its N-1 reliability standard to residential and business customers by 2028.
