In recent times, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has directed units and localities to implement power source and grid projects, ensuring the progress of putting them into operation according to the plan, organizing working groups to inspect projects, and urging the implementation of power projects. However, some power sources have not met the progress due to many difficulties and obstacles such as concentrated solar power projects, rooftop solar power, offshore wind power, gas power, and nuclear power.

The main reasons are: many localities have to review and update zoning plans, general construction plans, and provincial plans; there is no experience in developing offshore wind power; gas power projects have not been implemented due to unclear progress and feasibility; problems with legal regulations, investment policy approval, etc.
