Speaking at the event, Mr. Ngo Son Hai emphasized that, given the development requirements of Vietnam’s power system for 2030 and beyond, the electricity sector must adopt comprehensive solutions in investment, construction, and operational management. He highlighted that research and the application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies play a crucial role in building a smarter, more efficient power system capable of meeting Vietnam’s fast-growing electricity demand, which is projected to increase at double-digit rates in the coming years.

As of the end of 2024, Vietnam’s total installed power capacity reached 82.4GW, ranking 23rd globally and 2nd in Southeast Asia. The power mix includes 30% hydropower, 32% coal-fired power, 9% gas-fired power, and 27% wind and solar power. Including hydropower, renewable energy accounts for 57% of the total installed capacity, significantly reducing fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Under the adjusted National Power Development Plan for 2021–2030 with a vision to 2050 (PDP VIII), approved by the Prime Minister on April 15, 2025, Vietnam’s total installed power capacity is expected to reach 236GW by 2030. By 2050, the system is projected to reach 774.5-838.7GW, primarily from non-emitting sources such as wind, solar, biomass, nuclear, hydrogen- or ammonia-fueled thermal power, pumped storage hydropower, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Vice President Ngo Son Hai highlighted that the technical workshop on “Digital Power Grids, Energy Storage, and Distributed Energy Monitoring Solutions” was a meaningful and practical activity aligned with EVN’s digital transformation strategy. The event offered EVN’s units the opportunity to explore advanced technological solutions in the energy sector. He also highly appreciated Huawei’s strong cooperation and goodwill in jointly organizing the workshop with EVN and EVNHANOI.

During the workshop, Huawei introduced its latest digital energy technologies, including Intelligent Distribution System (IDS), integrated frequency-regulation energy storage (BESS), private wireless networks for the power sector, and smart substation solutions. These solutions were presented with case studies from various countries and regions.

The event also served as a platform for EVN and Huawei to discuss future cooperation. Huawei reaffirmed its commitment to sharing expertise and working with EVN to develop an intelligent and sustainable energy ecosystem, supporting the comprehensive digital transformation of Vietnam’s electricity sector.

Additionally, Huawei showcased its high-safety, high-efficiency, and scalable BESS technology. Its energy ecosystem also encompasses electric vehicle charging stations, green data centers, and smart grid solutions, all designed to promote sustainable development and support Vietnam’s clean energy transition.
