EU Ambassador Julien Guerrier said Vietnam needs a stable, predictable legal framework to attract private capital into the power sector, as investment needs in generation and grids grow sharply. He cited offshore wind projects in Quảng Trị as an example of development falling short of their potential, and called for a suitable national legal framework along with local authority to grant survey and project licenses. According to the article, total installed capacity reached about 87,600 MW by end-2025 and is planned to reach 183,000–236,000 MW by 2030. Under the JETP, the EU and its member states have committed 2.8 billion EUR toward a target of about 15 billion EUR, and Vietnam has identified 48 project proposals requiring over 11 billion USD in capital.

- These energy stocks are poised to profit from an imminent AI power crunch
- U.S. Power Demand Is Set to Jump 20% by 2030. Here's What It Means for Energy Stocks.
Rabobank research projects U.S. power consumption could climb 20% by 2030, after two decades of sluggish growth of around 0.5% a year. Drivers include AI hyperscalers, electrification such as electric vehicles, and reindustrialization of manufacturing. The article covers three groups that could benefit: regulated utilities such as Dominion Energy, Southern Company and American Electric Power; independent power producers such as Constellation, Vistra and Talen, which have long-term agreements with hyperscalers; and equipment makers such as GE Vernova, with a backlog of over $176 billion, and Bloom Energy. It also notes that Constellation and Vistra are down 30% and 22% over the past year.
- Google and Voltus expand virtual power plant to 1GW in PJM
Google and Voltus have expanded their agreement to build a 1GW virtual power plant (VPP) in the PJM grid region, which covers 13 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. The capacity is nearly tenfold the 100MW deal signed in June 2026. Voltus will aggregate capacity from local businesses and households, combining batteries, smart thermostats and industrial flexibility, with the VPP funded by Google. The aim is to strengthen grid reliability during high demand, and participants are expected to receive benefits such as potential bill savings and direct payments. The companies say this is one of the largest distributed energy portfolios managed by a hyperscale company in the region to date, and PJM serves around 67 million people.
- Fusion startup Helion is developing new semiconductors that could double output of its power plants
Fusion startup Helion has received a $175 million federal award under the CHIPS Act from the Department of Commerce to research and manufacture advanced semiconductors and power electronics for its fusion plants. Such devices currently lose about 5% to 10% of the electricity passing through them, and CEO David Kirtley said halving that loss would double the fusion system's power output. The funding will support a new production line in Washington State and R&D with GlobalFoundries in Vermont, while Helion races to finish its Orion plant for a 2028 power deal with Microsoft. Kirtley acknowledged the R&D will not reach Orion in time but should improve later plants, and the company also announced a $50 million private investment, bringing total funding to more than $3.2 billion.
- Russia refuses to buy Chinese electricity despite delays in building Far East hydropower plants
Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pyotr Konyushenko told TASS that Russia has no plans to buy electricity from China. He said reverse power flow from China is not on the agenda and that the ministry considers such supply unfeasible, though it is technically possible since cross-border lines currently mainly carry power from Russia’s Far East to northeast China. Even if delays to Far East hydropower plants leave the region short of energy, he insisted Russia will solve the problem itself.
- France CPI climbs more than 3 pct in September - Xinhua
France's consumer price index rose 3.1% year on year in September 2026, up from 2.4% in August and the highest level since January 2024, according to the national statistics institute. The acceleration was driven mainly by energy prices, which rose 21.3% year on year from 16.7% in August, while service prices rose 2.4% and food prices 1.4%. On a monthly basis, CPI fell 0.3% as seasonal drops in service prices outweighed a third consecutive monthly rise in energy prices. Core inflation rose to 1.5% year on year from 1.1% in August.

- Live updates: Bitcoin climbs above $81,000 as majors rally ahead of Fed decision
Bitcoin rose 2% to just above $81,000 on Wednesday Asian morning, recovering from Monday's dip below $80,000 as traders positioned for the Federal Reserve's rate decision. Most major tokens also gained: HYPE jumped nearly 6% to just above $81, ZEC added 5% to about $1,300, DOGE rose 4%, and BNB and SOL each gained about 3%. Ether climbed 2% to about $2,360, XRP rose 3% to $1.32, and TRX gained about 1%. The bounce follows a Galaxy note saying now is the time to accumulate bitcoin, with its head of firmwide research, Alex Thorn, saying the bear market likely ended in June, when bitcoin traded under $58,000. The bigger test comes when Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holds his press conference, as traders look for any hint of a December rate hike that would make borrowing costlier and tends to pull money from riskier assets like crypto.

- Shareholder group holds over 8.6% of Vietnam International Bank (VIB)
Beston, Bellmont and four related individuals together hold over 322 million VIB shares, or more than 8.6% of charter capital, according to a list updated on October 28. Beston holds over 87 million shares (about 2.33%) and Bellmont over 85.7 million (nearly 2.3%), and both are led by Nguyễn Thùy Nga as Chairwoman and CEO. After Bellmont received 85.7 million shares from Beston through a corporate split, the two entities hold nearly 173 million shares (about 4.63%), while Ms. Nga and her husband own over 3.88%. Under the 2024 Law on Credit Institutions, shareholders holding at least 1% of charter capital must disclose information about themselves and related parties. VIB had total assets of nearly 600,000 billion VND as of the end of Q3, and its pre-tax profit for the first nine months rose 8% to nearly 7,600 billion VND.
- Tesla's Free Cash Flow Just Turned Positive. Here's Why That's Only Half the Story.
Tesla reported $1.53 billion in third-quarter free cash flow, a swing from the $1.09 billion deficit in the prior quarter, but the figure fell 62% from a year earlier. The improvement came mainly from capital expenditure of $4.73 billion, well below analysts' expected $7.77 billion, rather than from stronger profits. Operating income fell 56% year over year to $718 million, and net income attributable to common shareholders dropped 43% to $787 million. CFO Vaibhav Taneja cut the 2026 capex outlook to about $20 billion from more than $25 billion, yet nine-month spending of $13.01 billion already more than doubled the prior-year level, requiring about $7 billion more in the fourth quarter. Tesla continues spending on AI, Optimus robots, Cybercab production and semiconductors, and has secured $30 billion in extra borrowing capacity that management does not expect to draw in 2026.

Compared with the opening price, one week ago was -1.7%, one month ago -5.6%, and one year ago +1.8%. The article also notes gold's one-year gain was 95.6% as of Jan. 29.
- Meta’s $25 Billion Stock Sale Drew Five Times the Demand
Meta priced 40,000,000 Class A shares at $625 on October 26, raising $25.0 billion, up from the $22.5 billion planned, after investors placed orders for about five times the shares offered. The stock then fell 1.64% to $620.19 on October 27, below the price buyers paid. NVIDIA committed $3 billion as Meta expands its Vera Rubin deployment, and AMD, whose Helios systems are installed at Meta, committed $1 billion; the article notes both deals are partly vendor financing. The offering combines common shares sold through forward agreements, settling by November 19, 2027, with $12.5 billion of 6.50% mandatory convertible preferred depositary shares, for a $37.5 billion underwritten total. The sale followed free cash flow turning negative for the first time since 2012, after nearly $34 billion in capex against almost $33 billion in cash generation, and the 15 largest investors took about 70% of the deal.
