According to the figures released in the Viet Nam Energy Outlook Report 2017, Viet Nam has the potential to generate up to 40 GW of electricity from solar sources by 2035. Additionally, wind energy has power generation potential of about 12 GW, and the potential of biomass for power generation is about 3.7 GW by 2035. The details were shared at an event co-organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Embassy of Denmark in Hanoi.

The report, compiled by Viet Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) and Denmark’s Ministry for Energy, Utilities and Climate, aims to provide an analysis of available data in order to formulate an energy plan for the future. The report focuses specifically on the integration of renewable energy into the national power grid.
