Vietnam Power Shortage

Electricity shortages in the North were warned two years ago and have become even more pronounced since 2022, especially the region's lack of new energy sources.

By 2025, the country aims to reduce total electricity consumption by 2% and minimize grid losses to less than 6%.

About 4,350 MW more electricity is needed in the north of the country.

In May, the daily average electricity consumption across the country reached nearly 820 million kWh, marking a more than 20% increase compared to April.
