Vietnam aims to enhance its energy security by attracting foreign investment in its energy sector, as highlighted at the 2025 Trade Counselor Conference. The country is focusing on renewable energy sources, especially offshore wind and solar power, to meet growing electricity demands and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Key legal frameworks, including the Electricity Law 61/2024/QH15 and adjustments to the Electricity Planning VIII, are being implemented to create a conducive environment for investments. The government is also promoting cross-border electricity trading and exploring electricity imports from neighboring countries to ensure national energy security.

Recent collaborations with South Korea, including a memorandum signed in August 2025, aim to enhance cooperation in renewable energy and advanced power generation technologies. This strategic partnership is expected to address domestic electricity needs while contributing to global emissions reduction commitments.
