Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by minimising the intermittency of renewables, enhancing grid flexibility, and ensuring reliable power supply. In a significant development, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) has secured approval for its first pilot BESS project with a capacity of 50 MW/50MWh.
At a meeting on Wednesday, the ADB side, represented by Andrew Jeffries, advisor, Energy Transition Mechanism and Partnerships, proposed building a pilot 50MW/50MWh BESS project near Hanoi. A meeting between EVN and ADB to discuss the BESS project, Hanoi, August 14, 2024. Photo courtesy of EVN.
The government anticipates a 10-12% annual surge through 2030 in the nation’s power consumption. This rapidly expanding energy demand presents a significant challenge to Vietnam’s transforming energy landscape, especially considering the urgent need to reduce global emissions and utilise renewable alternatives.
Vietnam is advancing its energy infrastructure towards a greener, more just, and energy-efficient future, simultaneously providing a valuable model inspiring the global drive towards an energy-resilient future.

Athens, Greece / London, United Kingdom – October 9, 2025 – METLEN (RIC: MTLN.L, Bloomberg: MTLN.LN, MTLN.GA, ADR: MYTHY US) and Karatzis Group of Companies are entering into a new strategic partnership, through a joint venture with ownership stakes of 49% and 51% respectively, for the development, construction, operation, and energy management of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of 330MW / 790MWh in Thessaly, Greece.
