Vietnam boosts coal use to tackle power shortage
The Vietnamese government has decided to increase coal production by up to 15% above current quotas to ensure electricity supplies, especially amid rising demand due to heatwaves and forecasts of a return of El Niño, which will lead to decreased rainfall and higher energy consumption.
