Rising electricity demand driven by economic growth data centre construction the artificial intelligence boom and the expansion of the digital economy is putting the reliability of energy infrastructure under growing pressure
Vietnam's data centre capacity is projected to increase dramatically by 2030, placing a heavy reliance on the stability of energy infrastructure. To achieve this goal, deputy director Nguyen Thi Phuong Yen emphasized the need to focus on innovation, technology adoption, public-private cooperation, and infrastructure development.
Jason Wu, CEO of Huawei Southeast Asia Digital Power, highlighted the importance of integrating renewable sources like solar and wind with grid-forming technology to ensure a reliable power supply. The global energy transition, with its focus on new energy sources, offers a sustainable solution to the growing gap between power supply and demand.
Jason Wu also pointed out that Vietnam's AI industry is rapidly developing, and reliable power supply will be crucial for its sustainable growth. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific vice president James Yuk stressed that Vietnam's dynamic economy and rapid industrialization are driving demand for reliable, clean, and sustainable energy. With national targets on green transition and net-zero emissions, Vietnam is at the forefront of Southeast Asia's renewable energy transformation.
This transition not only addresses environmental concerns but also serves as a powerful driver of economic growth and long-term prosperity for future generations. EICMA 2026 and other exhibitions in Hanoi from October 13-15 attracted over 800 companies from 25 countries, creating opportunities for technology access and industrial supply chain connections.
