Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that national energy security and stable electricity supply are urgent requirements for economic development. Experience shows that if the growth rate is 1%, electricity growth must be 1.5-2 times higher. If the growth rate is 7% in 2024, electricity growth must also be 12%; if the growth rate is 8% in 2025, electricity growth must be 15%. Currently, the country's electricity consumption capacity is 54,500 MW; the annual growth rate is nearly 6,500 to 8,200 MW. The Prime Minister said that the policy in the coming time is to focus on developing high technology, chip production, building large national data centers, building high-speed railway systems, urban railways... the demand for electricity is very high. Therefore, it is necessary to develop urgent power sources.
