In particular, the southern Khanh Hoa region has undergone strong transformation when developing renewable energy, becoming a bright spot in wind power and solar power. The whole province currently has dozens of energy projects with large total capacity, making significant contributions to the national power source.
In 2025, the province's economic scale is estimated to reach 209,000 billion VND, budget revenue exceeded the central government's estimate, a sharp increase compared to the previous year. Social security work is focused on with thousands of houses supported for poor households, contributing to improving people's lives.
A notable milestone is that from July 1, 2025, Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan officially merged, opening up a new development space, creating conditions to better exploit potentials and advantages.
The province sets a double-digit economic growth target for the period 2026 - 2030, focusing on removing "bottlenecks" in infrastructure, human resources and backlog projects. The four pillars of growth include: industry, energy, tourism - services and urban - construction.
In the coming time, Khanh Hoa will accelerate the development of Van Phong Economic Zone, expand clean energy projects, and prepare to implement nuclear power projects in the old Ninh Thuan area. When completed, these projects will add thousands of MW of capacity, creating strong development momentum for the locality.
At the same time, the province focuses on developing digital economy, logistics, and high-quality tourism in the direction of green and sustainable growth.
With the foundation achieved and the consensus of the entire political system and people, Khanh Hoa sets a goal to complete the criteria and become a centrally-run city by 2027.
