On May 14, 2026, Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Decision 1126/QD-BCT to implement Directive 10/CT-TTg on strengthening electricity saving and developing rooftop solar power.
The 2026 target is to save at least 3% of national electricity consumption. During the hot-season peak from April to July, the minimum electricity-saving target is set at 10%.
The plan also mentions demand-side management (DSM), demand response (DR), reducing at least 3,000MW of peak load when system supply-demand balance is at risk, and lowering system electricity losses to below 6%.
For rooftop solar, the plan highlights self-production and self-consumption deployment. Priority groups include public offices, production/business/service facilities, and households. It also encourages combining storage systems to reduce peak-hour load and improve on-site energy autonomy.
