Vietnam cuts gas, offshore wind targets in new power plan, draft document shows


HANOI: Vietnam has lowered its power-production targets for gas and offshore wind this decade, with coal and other renewables expected to fill the gap until nuclear reactors are included to the energy mix by 2035, a draft industry ministry document showed.

The document, released late on Tuesday (Feb 4) and still subject to changes, aims to replace the 2023 power generation plan for this decade. This comes as the South-East Asian export hub strives to meet the growing electricity demand from domestic manufacturers and multinationals operating in the country.
