The annual meeting between the Vietnam Business Forum Power & Energy Working Group (PEWG) and Vietnam Electricity (EVN) took place on 5 November 2025 at EVN Headquarters, focusing on how the foreign business community can support Vietnam’s energy transition in the digital era.
The discussion centred on solutions and technologies, with contributions from the World Economic Forum, Climate Smart Venture, and the Asia Foundation on technical and financial pathways for coal phase-out.
Representing EuroCham Vietnam and the Green Growth Sector Committee (GGSC) in the VBF PEWG Steering Committee, Mr. Nguyen Phan Dinh, GGSC Co-Chair, highlighted EVN’s leadership in improving the Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) regulatory framework through the recent draft decree amending Decrees 57 and 58. He also welcomed the two-component electricity pricing proposal and the emerging policy framework for energy storage, noting that these initiatives strengthen investor confidence and advance Vietnam’s shift toward a more liberal electricity market.
EuroCham and the wider European business community reaffirmed their commitment to being a reliable partner to EVN and the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)—not only by providing feedback but also by sharing technical expertise, financial experience, and policy know-how drawn from Europe’s green transformation journey.
