Responding to the Challenges of Climate Change: Vietnam’s National Power Development Plan

This case study outlines the structure and purpose of Vietnam's National Power Development Plan (PDP), specifically focusing on the PDPVII and its revised version (RPDPVII), which serve as 10-year instruments for power sector planning and investment.

• Vietnam utilizes the Power Development Plan (PDP) as a tool for establishing investment projects and long-term planning for the power sector over 10-year intervals.
• The PDPVII served as the National Power Development Plan for the 2011–20 period with a vision extending to 2030, while the revised plan (RPDPVII) covers 2015–20 with a vision to 2030.
• The PDP and RPDPVII processes include analyzing current national electricity system conditions, evaluating the success of previous targets regarding transmission systems and power generation capacity, identifying implementation factors and demand growth, and forecasting future electricity demand.
