越南推动利用液化天然气（LNG）以满足激增的电力需求的计划严重滞后，18个燃气发电项目中仅有一个有望按时完工。
Vietnam’s push to use liquefied natural gas to meet surging electricity demand is well behind schedule, with only one of 18 gas-fired power projects expected to be finished on time.
工贸部部长黎明雄上周在政府会议上表示，在规划开发的项目中——总装机容量将超过20吉瓦——仅LNG Hiep Phuoc项目按进度推进。工贸部副部长张青怀在同一会议上透露，18个项目中有16个已选定投资方，但仅有两个项目开工建设。
Of the planned developments — which would have a combined capacity of more than 20 gigawatts — only LNG Hiep Phuoc is on schedule, Industry and Trade Minister Le Manh Hung said at a government meeting last week. Sixteen of the 18 projects have selected investors, but just two have started construction, Deputy Industry and Trade Minister Truong Thanh Hoai said at the same meeting.
这些延误威胁到越南计划到2030年让这种超低温燃料占其电力结构高达12%的目标。越南直到2023年才开始进口LNG，但全球业界视其为一个主要的潜在增长市场。
The delays threaten Vietnam’s plan for the super-chilled fuel to make up as much as 12% of its power mix by 2030. The country only started to import LNG in 2023, but is viewed by the global industry as a major potential growth market.
这些问题属于更广泛问题的一部分，许多发电和输电项目均落后于进度。工贸部上月警告称，因项目延误，该国明年面临电力短缺风险。越南到2030年实现至少10%年均经济增长的目标正给电网带来压力，新工厂、科技和基建项目推高了用电需求。
The problems are part of a wider issue with many generation and transmission projects falling behind schedule. The trade ministry warned last month the country faced the risk of power shortages from next year due to the delays. Vietnam’s goal of at least 10% annual economic growth through 2030 is adding pressure to the grid, with new factories, technology and infrastructure projects boosting power demand.
据当地媒体报道，位于胡志明市的LNG Hiep Phuoc项目计划于2028年第四季度开始商业运营。在其他17座规划中的燃气电厂中，约有五座预计将在本十年末前建成。
The LNG Hiep Phuoc project in Ho Chi Minh City is aiming to begin commercial operations by the fourth quarter of 2028, according to reports in local media. Of the other 17 planned gas-fired power stations, about five are supposed to be finished before the end of the decade.
据政府对上周会议的记录，大多数项目在完成土地征收清理、融资安排和购电协议方面均面临困难。代理副总理范嘉慈已责成有关部门为每个项目制定详细时间表，以便更早发现延误。
Most of the projects are struggling to complete land and site clearance, financing arrangements and power-purchase agreements, according to a government account of last week’s meeting. Acting Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc has ordered authorities to establish detailed timelines for each project to identify delays earlier.
这个东南亚国家仍然依赖煤炭发电。根据彭博新能源财经（BloombergNEF）的数据，去年化石燃料占该国发电量的46%，其次是占34%的水电和占8%的太阳能。BNEF预测，到2030年，越南的液化天然气（LNG）进口量将达到300万吨，低于2025年时预计的490万吨。
The Southeast Asian nation remains dependent on coal for its electricity. The fossil fuel accounted for 46% of power generation last year, followed by hydro on 34% and solar with 8%, according to BloombergNEF. Vietnam’s LNG imports will reach 3 million tons by 2030, BNEF forecast, down from an estimate of 4.9 million tons made in 2025.
