HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has proposed a significant increase in electricity imports from China and Laos, expanding them up to five times compared with the current power development plan.
According to the latest adjustments to Power Development Plan VIII, Việt Nam aims to import 3,700 MW from China by 2030, an increase of 3,000 MW over the previous plan. The Southeast Asian country has also been negotiating with China’s power suppliers to increase annual electricity purchases to 19 billion kWh from 2027-2028 via a 500 kV transmission line.
