Overview

The demand for electricity in Vietnam is rising rapidly to
power the growing economy. Forecasts predict an annual
growth rate for electricity of ‘near-double’ digits in the
years to come. To keep pace with demand, the Government
has envisioned substantial expansion to the national
power generation capacity and introduced policies to
cultivate the development of renewable energy.

developments, as well as the opportunities and challenges
they bring about for investors.
