Power demand in Vietnam is rising fast, driven by strong economic growth. The government is responding with an expansion plan that will raise generating capacity from 26.8 GW in 2012 to 75 GW in 2020, and to 146.8 GW by 2030. Construction of power plants to meet these targets, most of them coal fired, is underway.
