On May 15, 2023, the Government of Vietnam officially adopted the National Electricity Development Plan for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050. Commonly known as the Power Development Plan (PDP8), this plan reflects the country's vision for its power sector and ambition to shift towards renewable energy.
Following the issuance of the masterplan, on July 12, the Ministry of Trade and Industry delivered a Submittal Letter to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prime Minister requesting approval for the promulgation of the Implementation Plan for the PDP8. The Implementation Plan was then opened for comments and consultations from different governmental bodies and business organisations in the power sector. Among these, the pivotal EVN responded through Dispatch No. 4519/EVN-KH on Comments on the draft Implementation Plan for Power Development Plan VIII.
For information purposes, AMPERES conducted an unofficial English translation for the Submittal Letter and the Comment Dispatch. We introduce our translated documents for those who want to dive deep into the PDP8 implementation process.
