Executive summary

Industry Landscape

Vietnam’s renewable energy sector has scaled rapidly since the solar and wind feed-in-tariff cycles of the late 2010s and early 2020s, and is now transitioning toward direct power purchase agreements and offshore wind development under the country’s revised Power Development Plan.

Key Growth Drivers

  • Revised Power Development Plan VIII: The 2025 revision sharply raises onshore, nearshore and offshore wind targets, alongside a new battery storage mandate.
  • Falling solar and storage costs: Declining technology costs are shifting investment toward self-consumption, ESCO and Direct Power Purchase Agreement models.
  • Offshore wind entry: Vietnam’s offshore wind capacity target has nearly tripled under the revised plan, opening a new segment for international developers.
  • Grid modernization investment: Transmission upgrades are essential to unlock curtailed solar and wind capacity, particularly across the southern and central provinces.

Key Structural Trends

The database tracks capacity, commissioning status, and developer detail for projects across the Mekong Delta, South Central Coast, and Central Highlands, alongside the emerging offshore wind pipeline that is expected to anchor the next phase of capacity growth.

Research Methodology

The Vietnam Renewable Energy Projects Database is developed using a structured, multi-source research process designed to ensure accuracy and consistency across every tracked record.

Step 1: Scope Definition & Universe Mapping

The research team defines the full universe of renewable energy projects to be tracked within scope, drawing on regulatory filings, industry association membership lists, company disclosures, and prior desk research to establish an initial master list.

Step 2: Data Collection & Verification

Each record is populated using primary sources including company announcements, regulatory and permitting filings, government databases, and, where available, direct outreach to operators and developers, cross-checked against secondary sources such as industry reports and trade press coverage.

Step 3: Classification & Standardization

Records are standardized into a consistent schema covering location, capacity or scale, ownership, operational status, and timeline detail, allowing like-for-like comparison across all regions of Vietnam.

Step 4: Quality Review & Update Cycle

The database is reviewed on a periodic basis to reflect newly announced projects, status changes, and ownership updates, with the 2026 reference year reflecting the most recent verified data snapshot at time of publication.
