On 26 June 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Decision No. 1824/QD-BCT approving the electricity generation price framework for offshore wind power projects in 2025 (“Decision 1824”). Decision 1824 sets out ceiling tariffs for offshore wind power projects in different regions, reflecting the differences in investment and operating conditions. According to Decision 1824, the ceiling tariffs of offshore wind power projects are as below:
| Regions | North region | Southern region | South Central region |
| Ceiling tariffs | VND3,975.1/kWh, equivalent to 15.49 US cents/kWh | VND3,868.5/kWh, equivalent to 15.07 US cents/kWh | VND3,078.9/kWh, equivalent to 11.99 US cents/kWh |
It is worth noting that these ceiling tariffs match the previous proposal of Electricity Vietnam (EVN). According to EVN, the development of the electricity generation price framework is based on the calculation of the average investment rate for offshore wind power development in Vietnam, currently estimated at VND93,565 million per kW, equivalent to VND93 billion per MW, according to the exchange rate of VND25,450/USD. According to Decision 1824, EVN and offshore wind power generators will sign power purchase agreements on the basis of compliance with the price framework as set out by the MOIT.
