Solar power capacity targets have been raised to between 46,459 MW and 73,416 MW. BESS capacity will support this growing share of solar and wind power in Vietnam's energy mix, helping to stabilize the grid and manage peak demand.
However, in Vietnam, there is a widely held industry perception that Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are not economically feasible at this moment, while the country's first pumped storage hydropower (PSH) project Bac Ai with a capacity of 1,200 MW will not be commissioned until 20289.
This increase reflects Vietnam's commitment to integrating more renewable energy sources into its grid. Under the revised PDP8 onshore and nearshore wind capacity is forecast to reach between 26,066 MW and 38,029 MW by 2030, while offshore wind capacity is projected to be 17,032 MW by 2035.
The original PDP8 approved in 2023 had set out a target of 300MW of BESS capacity by 2030. The revised PDP 8 (approved by the Prime Minister via Decision No. 768/QD-TTg) now targets between 10,000 MW and 16,300 MW of BESS capacity by 2030. This increase reflects Vietnam's commitment to integrating more renewable energy sources into its grid.
Battery storage capacity targets jumped dramatically to 10,000-16,300 MW from the previously planned 300 MW. Notably, the revised plan reintroduces nuclear power with the Ninh
