Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son has just signed Decision 14 regulating the structure of retail electricity prices.
Accordingly, the electricity price list will be reduced from 6 to 5 levels. The cheapest level is calculated for households using less than 100 kWh instead of the current 50 kWh, while the highest level is from 701 kWh and up.
Electricity prices for levels 1 to 5 are calculated at 90-180% of the average retail electricity price (currently 2,204.07 VND/kWh).
Thus, according to the new price list, the lowest electricity price (level 1) is about 1,984 VND per kWh and the highest (level 5) is 3,967 VND per kWh, excluding VAT.
| Level | Current price list | 5-step plan | ||
| Usage level | Price excluding VAT | Usage level | Price | |
| 1 | 0-50 kWh | 1,984 | 0-100 kWh | 1,984 |
| 2 | 51-100 kWh | 2,050 | 101-200 kWh | 2,380 |
| 3 | 101-200 kWh | 2,380 | 201-400 kWh | 2,998 |
| 4 | 201-300 kWh | 2,998 | 401-700 kWh | 3,571 |
| 5 | 301-400 kWh | 3,350 | 701 kWh or more | 3,967 |
| 6 | 401 kWh or more | 3,460 | ||
The electricity price for the first 100 kWh will remain the same to support the poor and policy households (nearly 33.5% of the total number of households using electricity). The difference in electricity revenue reduction for these households will be compensated by households using 401 - 700 kWh and over 700 kWh (about 2% of the total number of households using electricity nationwide). According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade , the electricity price of higher levels (from 400 kWh and above) is designed to increase by 6.5 - 14.7% to offset revenue for lower levels.
For levels from 101 - 200 kWh and 201 - 300 kWh, electricity prices remain the same as current.
Comparing the difference between electricity prices of different levels shows that the new retail electricity price list has a difference of about two times between levels 1 and 5. This issue has been explained by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to encourage the use of electricity economically, effectively and in line with world trends.
With this new retail electricity price list, households that use a lot of electricity, over 400 kW per month, will have higher electricity bills.
Also in this decision, the retail price of electricity for electric vehicle charging stations and poles is applied at a lower level than that applied to business electricity but higher than that applied to production. Specifically, the electricity price structure is based on voltage level, the lowest is 71%, the highest is 195% of the current retail electricity price.
Retail electricity for customers in the tourism and accommodation service business is also calculated according to voltage level, the lowest being 56% and the highest being 168% of the current retail electricity price.
