The Government of Vietnam has approved a purchase proposal from the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to buy electricity from the 250 MW Truong Son wind power project in Laos, starting in the fourth quarter of 2025. The state utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN) will collaborate with the ministry to finalise the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) and complete the necessary procedures to ensure the project’s economic feasibility.
The Truong Son wind power project is managed by the Vietnam-Laos Energy Investment Joint Stock Company and is expected to generate 250 MW of clean energy once it begins operations in Q4 2025. It will connect to Vietnam’s grid via the 220 kV Do Luong substation in Nghe An Province.
The agreement aligns with the Vietnam-Laos agreement and PDP VIII. The Government of Vietnam aims to purchase around 3,000 MW from Laos by 2025, with potential increases to 5,000-8,000 MW by 2030 and 11,000 MW by 2050.
