Vietnam Power EPC Market Trends
The Thermal Segment to Dominate the Market
Power comes from various sources ranging from fossil fuels like coal and oil to renewable sources like wind and solar. The energy mix for electricity generation is dominated by fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
In 2020, more than 66% of electricity generated in Vietnam was through thermal power sources like coal, natural gas, and oil.
The power generation mix is heavily skewed towards coal with a significant contribution because of cheaper domestic fuel availability. Its share in the mix has increased due to constraints in adding other conventional generation sources like hydro, nuclear, and gas.
Coal generation in the Southeast Asian country is expected to be 177.7 terawatt-hours by 2030, providing almost 39% of its total power generation. This scenario is expected to impact the market throughout the study period positively.
In December 2021, Mitsubishi and Korea Electric Power announced plans to begin the construction of the USD 2.2 billion Vung Ang II coal-fired power plant. The 1,200MW project is expected to start commercial operations in the third quarter of 2025.
Thus, with the existing and upcoming plans for thermal power plants, the segment is likely to dominate during the forecast period.
