Party General Secretary To Lam has signed a new Politburo resolution on national energy security through 2030 with a vision to 2045, setting out a comprehensive roadmap for the country’s energy transition.

The resolution emphasizes ensuring a secure and sustainable energy supply, reducing emissions, and building a competitive, transparent, and efficient energy market, while enhancing energy efficiency to meet demand from the country’s rapid and sustainable development.

By 2030, Vietnam targets a total primary energy supply of 150–170 million tons of oil equivalent, with installed power capacity of 183–236 GW, generating 560–624 billion kWh. Renewable energy is projected to account for 25–30% of the total supply, while greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 15–35% compared with a business-as-usual scenario.

Looking ahead to 2045, the country aims to establish a fully modern, competitive, and sustainable energy sector, with infrastructure connected both regionally and globally.

To achieve these goals, the resolution identifies several key measures, including enhancing the regulatory framework; developing energy infrastructure, including renewable, gas, and nuclear power, while phasing down coal; promoting digitalization and energy-saving practices; strengthening environmental protection and international cooperation; and encouraging greater private investment in energy.
