Foreign media: Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the negotiations for the nuclear power plant construction between Vietnam and Russia need to be completed by January, as Japan has withdrawn from the second nuclear power project.
Vietnam restarted its nuclear power plan in 2022, originally planning to sign agreements with Russia and Japan to build two nuclear power plants, with a total capacity of 4 to 6.4 gigawatts, but the progress has not met expectations. Japan withdrew due to the overly ambitious target of putting the project into operation by 2035. Vietnam hopes both nuclear power plants can be put into operation after 2031 to alleviate the electricity shortage.
Due to industrial demand and frequent extreme weather, Vietnam faces a problem of insufficient power supply. In its energy transition plan, renewable energy and natural gas projects have also faced delays and uncertainties due to regulatory and pricing issues.
