Does Vietnam have a sustainable power grid?

In 2021, renewable energy constituted 56% of Vietnam’s power grid, with a notable expansion of sustainable capacity to 39 GW in 2020. Hydro and marine energy comprised 51% of total capacity, followed by solar at 39%. Wind energy grew 6.5 times from 2020 to 2021, indicating significant potential for investors.

What are Vietnam's energy goals?

Vietnam’s ambitious energy goals include reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% in 2030 and 45% by 2050. The plan aims to increase wind energy production to 6,000 MW by 2030, with wind power accounting for 1% of total electricity generation. Biomass energy’s share is set to rise steadily, reaching 2.1% by 2030.

Does Vietnam have a renewable power potential?

While this is an ambitious target for renewables, it captures only a fraction of the nation’s overall renewable-power potential. A map displays the solar-power and wind power potential of Vietnam.

Can Vietnam reach net-zero emissions by 2050?

To reach net-zero emissions by 2050, Vietnam would have to pivot the bulk of its power generation capacity to wind and solar, installing about 150 GW of wind capacity and about 70 GW of solar capacity. While this is an ambitious target for renewables, it captures only a fraction of the nation’s overall renewable-power potential.

Should Vietnam switch to green electricity?

To protect the climate, Vietnam wants to switch to green electricity. Clever strategies have already achieved groundbreaking success. With international support, Viet Nam aims to cut its net emissions to zero by 2050. Furthermore, the country plans to phase out the use of coal-generated power by the end of the 2040s.

Can Viet Nam transition to renewables?

For this to happen, Viet Nam needs to transition to renewables successfully. Since 2009, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been supporting the country in the Mekong Delta in developing a market for renewable energies.
