Vietnam — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 642 energy assets in Vietnam across 13 layers — the 14th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 392 power plants, 99 cement plants and 34 LNG terminals. Operating generation capacity is 63.9 GW, led by coal at 43%. Refining capacity is about 330 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Vietnam Electricity (EVN) (30), small shareholder(s) (26) and Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Holding Corp Ltd (26), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Vietnam's mapped assets in service predate 2010 (median commissioning year of the 275 with a known date), 85 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Cam Pha Port Coal Terminal, dating from 1928. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Cần Giờ offshore wind farm (6.0 GW).
