2. Electricity: base, intermediate and peak
For the time being, hydropower is mainly used for intermediate and peak loads. In the future, hydropower will still be used for intermediate and peak loads but covering the intermediate load being the dominant.

The main purpose of large dams and reservoirs is hydropower but very often they are multipurpose dams (flood control, irrigation, water supply).
Most of large structures are embankment (E, ER, CFRD) or RCC dams.

5. Existing hydropower infrastructures
More than 30 power plants with a capacity > 50 MW.
HPP Son La has the largest capacity 2400 MW (with 6 units of 400 MW).
More than 350 small hydropower schemes (Independent Producers) with capacity varying from 5 to 30 MW.
Pumped Storage Plants
No pumped storage plants (PSP) have been built or commissioned to date. Between 2019
and 2030 five following PSP are planned to commission, totaling 5,700 MW and taking 3.9
percent of the installed capacity of the whole country: (1) Bac Ai 1: 4 x 300 MW, (2) Dong
Phu Yen: 4 x 300 M, (3) Don Duong: 4 x 300 MW, (4) Ninh Son: 4 x 300 MW, and (5) Mien
Bac: 3 x 300 MW
6. Flood Control
For these 8 reservoirs, the flood control is the priority and storage volume
may constitute a large part of the total capacity of the reservoir during the wet
season.
In the central part of Vietnam, there are often several floods every year
(typhoons) during the wet season.
Reservoirs of any types have the storage between Full Supply Level (FSL) and Maximum
Flood level (MFL) for flood control. Exceptions are eight large reservoirs, which are imposed
by law to allocate bigger storage between a level lower than FSL and MFL for flood control.
These eight reservoirs are indicated in the table below.

7. Main challenges
High increase of electricity consumption Population growth, urbanization and increased capita electricity consumption
will have a direct and considerable impact on future demand for electricity : this per capita consumption will increase from 1 774 kWh in 2015 to 3 703 kWh in 2025.
The necessary development of dams and reservoirs in Vietnam
- Vietnam is a country with large floods in the wet season and often severe droughts in the dry season (this trend may be worse in the future with the climate change),
- Vietnam has large demand for construction and exploitation of water resources by reservoirs,
- domestic water supply for urban areas is presently a critical issue,
- industrial water supply is increasing,
- exploitation of ground water is limited.
but the new projects encounter more and more obstacles.
Main obstacles for construction of new dams and power plants
- Financing issues: The rate of construction was slowed down these
last years since the lower growth of the electricity demand and the reduction of
the local bank loans with the economic crisis.
- Low profitability of irrigation dams: the fees paid by the farmers are in
general less than 50% of the real cost of the water provided by the irrigation
system.
- Resettlement issues: new reservoirs are generally located in areas
inhabited by Ethnic Minorities difficult to be displaced and with higher costs
(agreement of the National Assembly is required if more than 20 000 habitants
are concerned).
- Multi-usage of water: Problem of the sharing of the available quantity
of water for hydropower, irrigation and water supply in the dry season, the
different demands being the highest at the same time.
- Sedimentation: With the rapid reduction of several reservoirs volumes
for irrigation and water supply.
Low cost solutions, such as fuse plugs and PKW - to increase the FSL of these
reservoirs - were tested with success in central Vietnam.
- Environmental issues and sustainable development: Diminution of
cultivated lands as many reservoirs will be located in narrow valleys, with a
growing population, the priority being given to the food security.
Existence, and even extension, of natural protected areas claimed by the public
which delay or prevent the implementation of some new dams.
- Impact of the climate change on the designs of dams and sea
protection dykes (Vietnam will be one of the most affected countries by the
climate change).
Taking into account this phenomenon (larger floods, raising of the sea water
level) in the design of these structures is consequently necessary.
Issues due to the insufficient safety of many small dams
- Insufficient monitoring and maintainance of small dams (H < 15m) : in
particular for large reservoirs closed by long dykes which play an important role
for irrigation and water supply.
- Anarchic development of small hydropower schemes by private
Independent Producers with sometimes poor design, construction, operation of
the structures (dams and gates) and detrimental impact on environment. This
development is now severely criticized by the public and media and several of
these foreseen projects have been recently cancelled by the government.
Particular issues
- Development of the Mekong delta and numerous issues raised by the
existing or foreseen large hydropower schemes on the Mekong river upstream
Vietnam.
New technical innovations, to mitigate the drawbacks of these schemes, are
then required.
