Ready by 2030 😎

1. Vietnam

Vietnam has made significant progress since our last ASEAN deep dive in 2023. In November 2024, the Vietnamese National Assembly approved restarting the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project, projecting completion of the 4 GW plant by 2030.

The country has signed a nuclear cooperation MoU with Russia’s state-owned nuclear agency Rosatom and resumed working-level talks with South Korea on nuclear cooperation.

The latest national power development includes nuclear for the first time, stating the first plants will come online between 2030-2035, installed nuclear capacity will increase from 4 GW to 6.5 GW, and another 8 GW will be added by 2050.

The very idea of Singapore will be killed in this century.
