Vietnam’s electricity schedule effective from November 1, 2026 reduces household pricing from six consumption tiers to five, according to details published by the Government Electronic Newspaper on November 4. The reported average retail rate is VND2,159.9037 per kWh before value-added tax.
Household consumption is charged in bands
The first 100 kWh cost VND1,901 each. The next bands are VND2,289 for kWh 101–200, VND2,894 for 201–400, VND3,456 for 401–700, and VND3,844 from kWh 701 onward. All figures exclude VAT.
Each portion of consumption attracts its corresponding rate. VnExpress, reporting EVN’s November 4 briefing, gives a 300-kWh example: VND190,100 for the first band, VND228,900 for the second and VND289,400 for the remaining 100 kWh, totalling VND708,400 before VAT.
Different rules for accommodation and charging
Production rates vary by voltage and normal, off-peak or peak hours. Hospitals, educational establishments, public lighting and administrative organisations have separately specified categories.
Tourist accommodation uses the corresponding production tariff. At low voltage up to 1 kV, its normal, off-peak and peak rates are VND1,966, VND1,274 and VND3,586 per kWh, respectively, according to the government newspaper’s schedule.
Electric-vehicle charging at that voltage has rates of VND2,700, VND1,620 and VND4,212. VnExpress distinguishes those electricity-supply rates from the final charging-service fee paid by a driver.
The schedule also covers rural electricity retailers and other resale arrangements. The applicable category therefore depends on customer type, usage, voltage and consumption band.
