The Government of Vietnam has announced plans to invest around USD18 billion in power transmission infrastructure between 2026 and 2030, a move seen as critical to supporting the country’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector. According to a recent industry report, strengthening the grid will be essential to ensure that planned energy projects can be effectively delivered and integrated into the national power system.
Despite strong growth in renewable capacity, Vietnam continues to face significant transmission challenges. Grid bottlenecks remain a major concern, as the pace of renewable energy deployment has outstripped upgrades to transmission infrastructure, limiting the ability to efficiently distribute electricity across regions.
Overall, the planned investment and policy reforms are expected to play a key role in strengthening Vietnam’s energy infrastructure and enabling a more reliable and scalable transition toward renewable power.
