                        SUMMARY:Monthly Business Meeting | Power Development Plan 8
                        DESCRIPTION:<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;">While the Power Development Plan 8 (PDP8) has gone through several drafts, the latest revision proposes increasing electricity capacity and incorporate the use of diversified sources of power in renewable energy as well as other fuel sources such as hydrogen and ammonia. This is significant as Vietnam made a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050 at the UN’s COP26. The time taken for approval and several revisions to the PDP draft shows that government agencies have found it challenging to come to a common ground with negotiations ongoing to develop a clear plan forward for the country’s energy security. </span>
