On EVN’s side, President and CEO Nguyen Anh Tuan shared updates on the development orientation of Vietnam’s power sector under the revised National Power Development Plan VIII. Under this plan, the national power system will continue to be expanded at a large scale to meet electricity demand for socio-economic development, while gradually realizing the goals of energy transition and carbon neutrality by 2050.

In this context, EVN faces significant requirements in developing power generation sources, transmission infrastructure, enhancing system operation capacity, and accelerating the application of science and technology and digital transformation. EVN’s leadership also noted that these are areas where the Group is particularly interested in strengthening cooperation with international partners.

Leaders of both sides agreed to maintain communication channels and explore appropriate cooperation frameworks in the coming period.
