At its inception, VinEnergo was established with a charter capital of 2 trillion VND. Vingroup contributed 19%, while billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong invested 71%. His two sons, Pham Nhat Quan Anh and Pham Nhat Minh Hoang, each contributed 5%.

By October 23, 2025, VinEnergo experienced a significant capital increase from 10 trillion VND to 28.335 trillion VND. Of this, 44.59% (12.133.9 trillion VND) was contributed in cash, while other assets accounted for 55.41% (15.701.1 trillion VND).

In a November 15 announcement, VinEnergo revealed that it has one foreign investor holding 1.416.8 trillion VND, equivalent to 5% of its shares.

This investor is Dynamic Invest Group Limited, based in Hong Kong, China, a name that has frequently appeared within the Vingroup ecosystem.

Additionally, Vingroup’s contribution to VinEnergo remains unchanged at 5.383.7 trillion VND, representing 19% of the charter capital.

In November, VinEnergo also announced the addition of electricity transmission and distribution (3512) to its business activities, including wholesale and retail electricity sales.

Currently, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) is the largest electricity provider in Vietnam. Since September, Nguyen Xuan Nam, Deputy General Director of EVN, has stated that EVN is not the sole retailer of electricity to consumers.

VinEnergo notes that in many residential areas and urban developments, there is a high concentration of electricity demand, yet supply remains entirely dependent on EVN. There is no mechanism for retail electricity providers associated with urban developers to participate in the competitive electricity market.

Therefore, VinEnergo proposes adding provisions for retail electricity units in residential areas, urban developments, and similar models.

A recent notable project by Vingroup in the energy sector is the Hai Phong LNG Thermal Power Plant, which broke ground in late September. Covering nearly 100 hectares, the project has a total investment of 178 trillion VND.

With a designed capacity of 4,800 MW (Phase 1: 1,600 MW, Phase 2: 3,200 MW), it will be Vietnam’s largest thermal power plant, as outlined in the Government’s Power Master Plan VIII, and among the world’s leading LNG-based power plants.
