Continue to promote the development of renewable energy sources (hydropower, onshore and offshore wind power, solar, biomass, etc.), new energy, and clean energy (hydrogen, green ammonia, etc.) that are suitable for ensuring system safety with reasonable electricity costs, especially self-produced and self-consumed electricity sources, and rooftop solar power.

- Specific objectives:

+ Strongly develop renewable energy sources for electricity production, reaching a rate of approximately 30.9 - 39.2% by 2030, aiming for a renewable energy rate of 47% if strong international financial, technological, and governance support is received under the JETP program. The target for 2050 is for the renewable energy rate to reach 67.5 - 71.5%.

Regarding the development of the renewable energy industrial and service ecosystem:

By 2030, it is projected that two inter-regional renewable energy industrial and service centers will be established, encompassing electricity production, transmission, and consumption; renewable energy equipment manufacturing; construction, installation, and related services; and the development of a renewable energy industrial ecosystem in areas with high potential such as the Northern, South Central, and Southern regions, when favorable conditions arise.

Develop renewable energy sources and produce new energy for export. Strive to achieve an electricity export capacity of approximately 5,000-10,000 MW by 2030.

b) Renewable energy for heat production
