In his opening remarks, Vice President Pham Hong Phuong noted that by the end of 2024, Vietnam’s total installed power capacity had reached 82.4GW. According to the adjusted Power Development Plan VIII, this capacity is projected to increase to approximately 236GW by 2030 and may reach 774.5-838.7GW by 2050, with a major share coming from zero-emission energy sources. To accommodate this large-scale expansion, the power sector must adopt a comprehensive approach, from investment and construction to operations, with the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies playing a pivotal role.

The EVN executive also emphasized that the technical solutions introduced by SIFANG were highly practical, offering valuable insights for EVN and its units in areas such as smart grid development, STATCOM and grid-forming technologies, and energy storage.
