Vietnam Technology Catalogue 2026 for the Power sector

In the context of rapidly growing energy demand and the transition towards a low-emission and sustainable energy system, establishing a reliable, transparent, and systematic information platform on energy technologies has become increasingly important. The Vietnam Technology Catalogues 2026 have been developed to meet this need, providing a comprehensive database to support energy planning, analysis, and decision-making.

This is the third edition of the Catalogues, featuring updated and expanded versions of two key publications: the Vietnam Technology Catalogue for Power Generation and the Vietnam Technology Catalogue for Energy Storage and Renewable Fuels (Power-to-X). In addition, the series has been expanded with a new publication – the Vietnam Technology Catalogue for Energy Transport – completing the overall picture of the energy system from production and storage to transmission and transport.

Together, the three catalogues form a unified body of work that reflects the full value chain of the modern energy sector. Each technology is presented using a consistent structure, including technical description, main components, inputs and outputs, energy balance, advantages and disadvantages, space requirements, environmental impacts, and development outlook. This standardized approach ensures comparability across technologies and supports evidence-based decision-making.

A key principle in the development of the Catalogues is the prioritization of publicly available, transparent, and well-documented data, complemented by expert input where necessary. This approach ensures consistency and reliability, even when differences exist across real-world projects due to varying implementation conditions.

Beyond serving as a reference, the Catalogue is expected to become a decision-support tool for policymakers, investors, experts, and research institutions. The data provided can be used as inputs for power development planning, investment appraisal, policy analysis, and capacity building in the energy sector.

In the long term, the Vietnam Technology Catalogues 2026 serve as a shared knowledge platform, contributing to data-driven decision-making, improving planning quality, and supporting the transition towards a more sustainable, efficient, and flexible energy system.
