Nuclear power will reach about 6,400 MW in the 2030-2035 period.

ANTD.VN - The adjusted Power Plan VIII adds more sources from renewable energy and especially nuclear power.

Speed ​​up nuclear power projects to meet the development needs of the economy

Reporting at the recent meeting of the Council for Appraisal of the VIII Power Plan Adjustment, a representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade talked about some calculation results of the VIII Power Plan Adjustment Project.

Accordingly, the total power capacity serving domestic demand (excluding exports, cogeneration sources and risky thermal power) is 183,291-236,363 MW, an increase of about 27,747-80,819 MW compared to the approved Power Plan VIII.

Specifically: Coal-fired thermal power 31,055 MW (accounting for 16.9-13.1%), remains the same as Power Plan VIII (additional capacity due to actual updates of power plants);

Domestic gas-fired thermal power 10,861 MW (accounting for 5.9-4.6%), unchanged compared to Power Plan VIII; LNG thermal power 8,824 MW (accounting for 4.8-3.7%), down compared to Power Plan VIII 13,576 MW due to assessment of slow progress of power sources;

In the revised Power Plan VIII, hydropower is 33,294-34,667 MW (accounting for 18.2-14.7%), an increase compared to Power Plan VIII of 4,560-5,275 MW;

Notably, the adjusted Plan has increased renewable power sources. The total onshore wind power capacity is 27,791-28,058 MW (accounting for 13.2-14.4%), an increase compared to Power Plan VIII from 3,949-5,321 MW and solar power (including concentrated solar power and rooftop solar power) is 46,459-73,416 MW (accounting for 25.3-31.1%), an increase compared to Power Plan VIII from 25,867-52,825 MW;

Biomass electricity, electricity produced from waste and geothermal electricity 2,979-4,881 MW (accounting for 1.6-2.1%), increased from 709-2,611 MW;

Regarding storage sources, 12,394 - 22,271 MW (accounting for 6.8-9.4%), increased compared to Power Plan VIII from 9,694-19,571 MW; flexible power sources 2,000-3,000 MW (accounting for 1.1-1.3%), increased compared to Power Plan VIII from 1,700-2,700 MW;

Electricity imports account for about 9,360 MW (accounting for 5.1-4.0% of the total capacity of power plants), an increase from 4,360 MW in Power Plan VIII.

Notably, the Project to adjust nuclear power sources will reach about 6,000-6,400 MW, operating in the period 2030-2035. Along with that, electricity export is expected to reach about 5,000 MW to 10,000 MW on the basis of high economic efficiency, ensuring domestic energy security and national defense security.

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son assessed that the National Power Development Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050 (Power Plan VIII) is particularly important in the national sector planning system.

The adjustment of Power Plan VIII is necessary to meet the double-digit growth needs of the economy in the coming years. On that basis, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to organize the preparation of the Adjustment of Power Plan VIII in Decision No. 1710/QD-TTg dated December 31, 2024.
