On 4 July 2026, the Government issued Decree No. 272/2026/ND-CP (“Decree 272“), which fleshes out Articles 4, 10, 11, 12 and 15 of National Assembly Resolution No. 253/2025/QH15 dated 11 December 2025 on national energy development mechanisms for 2026-2030 (“Resolution 253“). It took effect the same day it was issued and will remain in force until 31 December 2030.
It is particularly significant because it establishes Vietnam’s detailed framework for the development phase of offshore wind projects, including investor qualification criteria, survey rights, and differentiated approval pathways for projects expected to operate in 2025-2030 versus 2031-2035.
