During the meeting, both sides focused on discussing opportunities for cooperation in power generation development, modernization of grid infrastructure, and the application of technologies to enhance system operation efficiency, while also addressing issues related to policy frameworks and conditions for implementing energy projects in Vietnam.

Chairman Dang Hoang An noted that Vietnam’s power sector is facing the need for strong development in both scale and quality—not only to meet socio-economic development demands but also to gradually realize energy transition goals, emission reduction targets, and improvements in the reliability of electricity supply. In this context, strengthening cooperation with international partners, including the U.S. business community, is of great importance.
