of 2026 reached 76.86.6 billion kWh, increasing 6.6% compared to the same
period last year, according to Electricity of Vietnam (EVN).

In March alone, 28.6 billion kWh was generated and imported.

Of the three-month total, 40,58 billion kWh were generated
from coal thermal power plants, accounting for 52.8%; 16.4 billion kWh from
hydro power plants, or 20.9%; 11.8 billion kWh from renewable energy, or 15.4%,
