Nhập khẩu than is important in national power sector planning and development strategy. There are currently more than 27 coal power plants in operation and using the main imported coal source. The increasing consumption of coal has posed many challenges to the market, from which it is necessary to take practical solutions to overcome the risk of shortage of electricity supply in the future.

The role of nhập khẩu than is increasingly confirmed in the national power sector development plan. The source of coal is increasingly used, coal consumption output increases continuously over time, and is expected to increase sharply in the future. (about 25.5 million tons of coal will be consumed in 2020, 72.5 million tons of coal in 2025 and nearly 100 million tons of coal in 2030). This shows that Vietnam is very necessary to have a quality and sustainable supply in the future.

Coal exploitation and import are always given special attention, and specific calculations on each development project help to avoid potential risks of coal shortage in the near future. Many topics focusing on nhập khẩu than are deployed and given information continuously, with the desire to look for a long-term feasible solution.

According to the domestic coal industry development plan, Vietnam needs to stabilize and sustain the supply from the present time. The sources of abundant coal reserves in the world such as Indonesia, Russia and Australia need to be cared for and maintained, in order to reach an always-balanced energy source.

Moreover, in the power sector development planning strategy, the world coal mining situation and the related coal price fluctuations should be considered. Depending on market coal prices, projects are promoted or adjusted accordingly. At the same time, deploying the replacement of clean renewable energy if nhập khẩu than faces difficulties ...

Supplying coal imports has a certain meaning in the electricity industry development plan. Despite mixed opinions about coal use, experience shows that coal cannot be completely excluded from production.
