Hydropower serves as the second-largest source. This energy profile stems from Vietnam&#8217;s natural resource advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abundant coal reserves: Vietnam holds significant proven coal deposits (3.8 billion tonnes), including the 2+ billion tonne Hong Gai mine in the northeast. Coal offers low technical barriers and competitive costs for power generation.<\/li>\n<li>Extensive river systems: With 840 billion m\u00b3 annual runoff (12th globally), the Red River and Mekong basins provide substantial hydropower potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While resource-appropriate, this dual dependency creates critical vulnerabilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hydropower output plummets during droughts due to reduced reservoir levels<\/li>\n<li>Aging coal-fired units operate inefficiently with higher coal consumption per kWh, causing frequent failures during peak demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4795 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.yroele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/YRO-Analyzing-Vietnams-Power-Crisis.webp?quality=85&strip=all\" alt=\"YRO Analyzing Vietnam's Power Crisis\" width=\"1239\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.yroele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/YRO-Analyzing-Vietnams-Power-Crisis.webp?quality=85&strip=all 1239w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.yroele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/YRO-Analyzing-Vietnams-Power-Crisis-300x140.webp?quality=85&strip=all 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.yroele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/YRO-Analyzing-Vietnams-Power-Crisis-1024x478.webp?quality=85&strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.yroele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/YRO-Analyzing-Vietnams-Power-Crisis-768x358.webp?quality=85&strip=all 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1239px) 100vw, 1239px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Grid_Management_Challenges\"><\/span><strong>2.

The state-owned Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), which supplies 38% of the country&#8217;s electricity, has repeatedly postponed key investments in modernizing the power grid and new power generation projects. Official surveys show that the delay in &#8220;investment and development of power sources and power grids&#8221; between 2021 and 2023,\u00a0has directly led to the current power supply shortage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Surging_Electricity_Demand\"><\/span><strong>3.
