Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / Energy
Vietnam has grand plans to build a series of nuclear power plants. But it faces several challenges.
Long treated in Southeast Asia as a distant or theoretical possibility, nuclear power is quietly returning to regional policy discussions, as the risks of energy shortfalls, price instability and system fragility are becoming harder to ignore.
While overland cables are just as important, the geographic flexibility offered by subsea cables will have a catalytic impact on regional energy transition by increasing the numbers of energy buyers and sellers.
Vietnam’s stalled Chinese-backed solar factories underscore how Global South nations must demand technology transfer and value addition – not just capital inflows – from China’s expanding overseas clean-tech investments.
