Widespread heatwaves, coupled with the strong recovery of production and business activities, have led to a rapid increase in electricity demand nationwide.

As the 2026 dry season peak begins, the national power system is forecast to continue facing considerable pressure as electricity demand rises sharply amid potentially more intense heat than in the same period last year.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed an official dispatch on urgent measures to guarantee sufficient electricity supply during the peak months of 2025 and beyond.
