Vietnam is working on improving energy efficiency and upgrading its power grid to avoid blackouts, yet it heavily relies on coal for immediate electricity needs. Despite plans to reduce coal usage, the country's current power output is predominantly coal-based, posing challenges to meet climate commitments and sustain investor confidence. Vietnam aims to increase its use of solar, wind, and hydropower by 2030, but administrative obstacles and slow reforms hinder progress towards cleaner energy sources.
