The world finally got the belief in science that GHG emission is the cause of global warming and climate change in almost 30 years since the first COP meeting in 1995. NetZero in 2050 would be possible if relevant policies and inter-governmental agreements were implemented. Of which, energy transition, and practical technology in power generation, parallel with good perception and awareness of GHG reduction are the keys. 04 main technologies are carbon capture, utilization and storage; fuel switching, renewable energy, and emission trading are selected to bring to 100s of energy experts and engineers in 10s power generation plants in Viet Nam for the assessment of perception and awareness of the technologies. Analysis and measurement are finalized once the survey and questionnaire are completed. However, a preliminary study showed that technological innovation and carbon markets are starting to drive the GHG target down to the green road in many countries.

The Prime Minister has issued a Decision on the roadmap, conditions and sector structure for establishment and development of power market grades in Vietnam.

On June 22, chairing the Government's Standing Committee on the mechanisms for power plant and grid development, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc emphasized that all economic backgrounds can participate in power generation and transmission electricity.

At the online over handing conference on production operation in September 2019, Mr. Dang Thanh Hai, the General Director of Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) asked the member units to pay interest to coal import to meet the demand of customers, especially power generation with a goal to strive achieving 7 million tons of import coal in 2019.

New wind and solar projects continue to dominate recent global capacity increases. But when dispatchable power is required, particularly in developing countries, coal remains the fuel of choice for utility-scale plants. Global coal use for power generation continues to rise primarily due to rapid growth of the Indian, African, and Asian power markets that value low cost solid fuels.

According to Mr. Dang Hoang An, General Director of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), with the increase in domestic coal prices for electricity production and updating the input parameters such as the prices of imported coal, oil, gas and exchange rates in comparison with parameters used for calculation in plan of the first 9 months of 2016, the total power generation and business costs of EVN will increase about VND 7,230 billion in 2017.

At 5.47 am Feb. 15, 2017, the Unit No1 of Trung Son Hydropower Plant (HPP has officially synchronized with National Power System. This is the first hydropower project in Vietnam invested by World Bank (WB) funds.

Government Office informed, the Prime Minister had the directions on ensuring coal supply for power generation.

Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) affirms, the National Power System satisfies sufficiently electricity for socio-economic needs.

The National Load Dispatch Center was established on April 11, 1994 to carry out necessary preparations for putting the North-South 500kV ultra-high voltage power transmission system into operation. The center is responsible for guiding and managing power generation, transmission and distribution activities within the national grid to achieve optimal technical and economic effectiveness, ensuring uninterrupted and safe operations of the national grid.
