From 10 May 2025, the average retail electricity price after adjustment is VND 2,204.0655/kWh (excluding value added tax).

For electricity for residential daily life, each resident will pay an additional VND 4,550 to more than VND 65,050 per month, depending on the electricity usage level.

Specifically, for residential consumers consuming less than 50kWh of electricity, the electricity bill will increase by about 4,550 VND/residential/month.

For residential consumption from 51kWh to 100kWh, the electricity bill will increase by about 9,250 VND/residential/month.

This electricity price adjustment will ensure that poor households and policy beneficiary families are only marginally affected. Poor and social policy residents will be supported by the provisions of Decision No. 28/2014/QD-TTg dated 7 April 2014 of the Prime Minister. In particular, poor residentials are supported with a monthly support level equivalent to the amount of electricity used by 30 kWh/residential/month, social policy residentials with the amount of electricity used not surpassing 50 kWh/month are supported with a monthly support level equivalent to the amount of electricity used by 30 kWh/residential/month by the Government's policy.

For service business customers (approximately 574,000 customers), the average increase per customer is VND 332,000 per month.

As for industrial customers (with approximately 1.98 million customers nationwide), following the price adjustment, each customer is expected to pay an additional average of VND 677,000 per month.

For administrative and public service customers (a total of approximately 719,000 customers), following the price adjustment, the average additional cost per customer is estimated at VND 125,000 per month.

Mr. Bui Thanh Thuy – Vice President and Secretary General of the Vietnam Consumer Protection Association – stated: The power industry faces numerous challenges in power generation, transmission, distribution, and other processes; therefore, there is a need to share in these common difficulties. The price increase is inevitable and objective, and it is impossible to avoid raising electricity prices under the current conditions. In fact, according to legal regulations, electricity prices can be adjusted every three months. However, since the last price increase in October 2024, it has been more than six months since EVN has implemented another price adjustment.

The representative of the Vietnam Consumer Protection Association also emphasized that in the context of hot weather and electricity price adjustment, people need to pay attention to using electricity economically and effectively.
