Promulgating the Plan for Implementing Power Development Planning VIII

1. The list of important power projects, invested in prioritizing until 2030:

- Gas thermal power plants with a total capacity of 14,930 MW.

- LNG thermal power Plants with a total capacity of 22,400 MW.

- Coal thermal power plants with a total capacity of 30,127 MW.

- Cogeneration power sources, power sources using residual heat, blast furnace gas, and byproducts from the technology lines with a total capacity of 2,700 MW.

- Hydropower plants with a total capacity of 29,346 MW.

- Hydropower pump storage plants with a total capacity of 2,400 MW.

2. Renewable energy power plants with a total capacity of localities/regions and a list of power projects until 2030:

- Offshore wind power projects with a total capacity of 6,000 MW.

- Onshore wind power projects with a total capacity of (onshore and near-shore wind power) 21,880 MW.

- Hydropower projects with a total capacity of 29,346 MW.

- Biomass power projects with a total capacity of 1,088 MW.

- Waste power projects with a total capacity of 1,182 MW.

- Rooftop solar power projects (produced and self-consumed) with a total capacity of about 2,600 MW.

- Battery storage with a capacity of 300 MW.

Prioritizing the development of renewable energy power projects combined with investment in storage batteries. The storage battery capacity of a renewable energy power plant is not included in the capacity of the power source project, nor is it included in the battery storage capacity structure of the power system (by 2030 it will be 300 MW).

3. Other types of power projects until 2030:

- Expected to develop 300 MW of flexible power projects. Prioritizing development in areas with potential shortages of spare capacity, taking advantage of existing power grid infrastructure

- It is expected to import about 5,000 MW of electricity from Laos, which can increase to 8,000 MW when there are favorable conditions with reasonable electricity prices to take advantage of export power potential projects in Laos.

- Renewable energy projects for export and new energy production are as follows:

+ Locations with the potential to export electricity abroad are the Central and Southern regions with export scales ranging from 5,000 MW to 10,000 MW when there are feasible projects.

+ Using renewable energy to produce new types of energy (such as green hydrogen, and green ammonia) to serve domestic and export needs, prioritizing development in areas with good renewable energy potential, and favorable power grid infrastructure; Striping to develop 5000MW (mainly offshore wind power projects).

4. Rural, mountainous and island electricity development program:

- Supply electricity from the national grid or renewable energy projects to about 911,400 households (of which, about 160,000 households do not have electricity, 751,400 households need to be renovated) of 14,676 villages in 3,099 communes, of which, the number of communes in border areas and especially difficult areas is 1,075 communes (43 provinces) in the provinces and cities: Dien Bien, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Ha Giang, Bac Giang, Son La, Hoa Binh, Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Kon Turn, Dak Nong, Dak Lak, Bac Lieu, An Giang, Can Tho, Cao Bang, Lai Chau, Bac Kan, Lang Son, Nghe An, Thua Thien - Hue, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Gia Lai, Lam Dong, Binh Thuan, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, Kien Giang, Soc Trang, Long An, Tien Giang, Vinh Long, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Ca Mau; The remaining areas are 2,024 communes.

- Supplying power to 2,478 small and medium-sized pumping stations (13 provinces) in the Mekong Delta region of provinces and cities: Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, An Giang, Kien Giang, Can Tho, Bac Lieu, Soc Trang, Long An, Tien Giang, Vinh Long, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Ca Mau; The Remaining areas are 2024 communes combined to supply electricity to the people.

- Supply electricity from the national grid or renewable energy projects to the remaining islands: Con Co Island (Quang Tri province); Tho Chau, An Son, Nam Du Islands (Kien Giang province); Con Dao island district (Ba Ria - Vung Tau province).

5. Plan to develop industrial ecosystem and services for renewable energy:

Research to build 2 inter-regional renewable energy industrial and service centers in the period up to 2030 as follows:

- Renewable energy industry and service center in the North.

+ In Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Thai Binh... provinces. In the future, can be considered for expanding to neighboring areas.

+ The Offshore wind power projects will be about 2,000 MW, and onshore and near onshore wind power projects will be about 500 MW.

+ Equipment manufacturing factories serving renewable energy development, seaport services, and logistics for construction, installation, operation and maintenance.

+ Green industrial parks, low carbon emissions.

+ Research and training facilities.

- Inter-regional renewable energy industrial and service center in the South Central and Southern regions.

+ In the areas of Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City ... In the future, can be considered to expanding to neighboring areas.

+ The Offshore wind power projects are about 2,000 - 2,500 MW, and onshore and near onshore wind power projects will be about 1,500 - 2,000 MW.

+ Equipment manufacturing factories serving renewable energy development, seaport services, and logistics for construction, installation, operation and maintenance.

+ Green industrial parks, low carbon emissions.

+ Research and training facilities.

6. Land use needs until 2030:

The total land use demand for national power projects and transmission grids is approximately 90.3 thousand hectares.

7. Investment capital demand until 2030:

- Public investment capital:

+ The investment capital demand for priority programs/projects on perfecting legal policies and strengthening the capacity of the electricity industry will be about 50 billion VND.

+ The investment capital demand for the rural power supply program in mountainous and island areas is about 29,779 billion VND. Currently, the balance is about 8,915.6 billion VND (accounting for 30%), of which the central budget balance is 7,351.9 billion VND, the capital of localities and Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) is about 1,563.7 billion VND, unbalanced capital is about 20,857 billion VND (accounting for 70%).

- The other Capital outside public investment capital:

All investment capital for power and transmission grid projects uses capital sources outside the public investment capital. Total investment capital is estimated at 3,223 trillion VND (equivalent to 134.7 billion USD), of which investment in power projects is about 2,866.5 trillion VND (119.8 billion USD) and investment in power transmission grids is about356.5 trillion VND (14.9 billion USD).

+ Investment capital for the period 2021 - 2025: 1,366.2 trillion VND (57.1 billion USD), of which power projects is 1,150.9 trillion VND (48.1 billion USD), transmission grid is 215.3 trillion VNDVND (9.0 billion USD).

+ Investment capital for the period 2026 - 2030: 1,856.7 trillion VND (77.6 billion USD), of which power projects are 1,715.6 trillion VND (71.7 billion USD), transmission grid is 141.2 trillion VNDVND (5.9 billion USD).
