The draft Power Master Plan VIII expects the installed power capacity in Vietnam to more than double between 2020 (around 70 GW) and 2030, when it should reach 146 GW.

"The document says the rule is about HS codes, so it is applicable to all origins," a South Korea-based source said. "This should help Russian coal demand more than other origins because it is already at a discount to other origins."

Currently, India operates 22 reactors with a total capacity of 6780MWe.

In March 2022, China’s government released its 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–25), which sets the domestic natural gas production target at 22.3 Bcf/d by 2025, or 3.0 Bcf/d more than domestic production in 2021.

The contract, whose price is indexed on gas traded in Louisiana (United States) will start in 2025 and is expected to cover around 3% of South Korea's annual gas consumption.

In October 2021, Sunseap signed an MoU to explore and develop solar power systems with a combined capacity of 7 GW around the Riau islands, including a previously announced 2.2 GW floating solar PV in Duriangkang, Batam.

Sri Lanka is looking at nuclear power as part of measures to increase and diversify its power capacity as well as cut its carbon emissions as it seeks to achieve a carbon neutral electricity sector by 2050.

Sources said that India bought 5,500 kcal/kg NAR coal from Russia at $160-$165/mt CFR India for an April-loading Capesize ship in the week ended April 16, adding that the freight between Russia and West coast India was at around $35-$36/mt.
