MORE THAN $10 BILLION PER YEAR TO DEVELOP THE POWER SOURCES AND GRID IN THE 2021-2030 PERIOD
The demand for investment capital for the development of power sources and grids will average US$10-11.5 billion per year by 2030.
This is stated in the draft national electricity development planning for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2045 (power planning VIII) that has just been submitted to the Government by the Ministry of Industry and Trade after many revisions and reviews.
According to the draft, the total investment capital required to implement the electricity development programme will be about $99 - 116 billion in the 2021-2030 period, equivalent to US$10-11.5 billion per year.
In which, the average capital for power source development is $8.57-10.15 billion per year; while the capital for the transmission grid is about $1.36-1.44 billion a year.
The power planning this time is developed with the aim of ensuring an adequate supply of electricity in the country, meeting the socio-economic development goals of the whole country with an average GDP growth rate of about 6.6 per cent per year in the 2021-2030 period and about 5.7 per cent per year in the 2031-2045 period.
Among the set targets, exploiting and effectively using renewable energy sources for electricity production is a priority, increasing the proportion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources to about 11.9. - 13.4 per cent by 2030 and about 26.5 - 28.4 per cent by 2045.
The power source development plan by 2025 targets that the total capacity of power plants will be about 102,590 - 105,265MW.
Of which, hydroelectricity will reach 25,323 megawatts (MW), accounting for 24.1 - 24.7 per cent; coal-fired power plants 29,679MW, accounting for 28.2 - 28.9 per cent; gas thermal power (including LNG) 14,117MW, accounting for 13.4 - 13.7 per cent; renewable energy sources 29,618 - 31,418MW, accounting for 28.9 - 29.8 per cent; and electricity imports 3,853 - 4,728MW, accounting for 3.7 - 4.5 per cent.
By 2030, the total capacity of power plants will be about 130,371 - 143,839MW and the total capacity of power plants will be about 261,951-329,610MW by 2045.

Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade. Statistics show that exports reached $266.5 billion in the first six months, meaning the economy needs to generate around $245.5 billion more during the remainder of the year to meet the annual goal.

ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out. These days, a container of frozen shrimp leaving a Ho Chi Minh City port is more likely to cross the East Vietnam Sea to Shanghai than the Pacific to Los Angeles.
