From 12–14 August 2025, the seminar “Strengthening Capacity on Energy Transition” was jointly organized by GIZ, the Viet Nam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin), and Viet Nam Business School (VBS) under the framework of the global Innovation Regions for a Just Energy Transition (IKI JET) project and the Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia (CASE) project.
The three-day training brought together 70 middle-level managers and specialists from both power and non-power units of Vinacomin. Participants received updates on the latest global and national energy transition developments, fuel conversion technologies, and relevant policy approaches. The sessions also provided a valuable opportunity for exchanging knowledge and experience, as well as discussing practical solutions for the future of Viet Nam’s coal industry in the context of the energy transition.
“These seminars come at the right time, addressing the challenges our corporation faces in shifting from coal power to net-zero emissions by 2050. They also open opportunities for us to engage with emerging green energy transition trends,” highlighted Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Head of Environmental Safety Department, Vinacomin Power Corporation.
As one of Viet Nam’s five largest power generation corporations, TKV Power operates power plants with a total capacity of 1,735 MW. Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is not only a pledge but a strategic direction for the Group.
By strengthening institutional capacity, updating knowledge on technology and policy, and connecting with international best practices, these seminars support Vinacomin’s gradual shift from coal mining and coal-fired power operations towards a sustainable development model in line with Viet Nam’s just energy transition strategy.
