The event is jointly organized by the Vietnam Energy Association and the China Electricity Council.

Alongside VCAE EXPO 2025, a series of specialized exhibitions are being held, including the Green Energy Technology and Power Equipment Exhibition, the Optical Storage and Charging Systems Exhibition, the Vietnam International Lighting Exhibition 2025 (VIEEXPO 2025), and the Vietnam International Electric Vehicle Industry Exhibition 2025 (EV VIETNAM 2025).

VCAE EXPO 2025 brings together leading brands presenting cutting-edge products and technologies in the power and green energy industries from Vietnam, China, and ASEAN countries.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Nguyen Thai Son, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Energy Association, emphasized that the global energy transition is moving toward greener, cleaner solutions with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel sources such as coal, oil, and gas are becoming increasingly depleted and restricted under climate commitments.

He stressed that Vietnam’s energy sector must simultaneously pursue high growth and transition toward greener, cleaner energy in line with global trends. Under the country’s development orientation, renewable energy (excluding hydropower) is expected to account for 28–36% of the energy mix by 2030, with a target of 74–75% by 2050.

China, a frontrunner in clean and low-emission energy, is accelerating its shift to non-carbon sources while improving the use of fossil fuels to ensure energy security and meet stringent environmental standards. With renewable energy now making up over 40% of its total installed power capacity, China is among the global leaders in renewable development, particularly in solar energy, supported by a highly developed supply chain.

ASEAN member states are also setting ambitious goals for renewable energy growth, aiming to advance green and sustainable development in line with their respective strategies and potential.

In this context, there is growing demand for greater interconnection of power transmission grids and cross-border electricity trade between Vietnam and China as well as between Vietnam and ASEAN. This cooperation is not only urgent but also a long-term strategy to fully tap into each country's energy potential, enhance trade relations and regional cooperation.

The exhibition serves as a platform for enterprises to promote their brands and for investors and industry professionals to network, exchange information, and explore partnership and business opportunities.

Vietnam hopes for stronger cooperation with WB in sustainable clean energy
