National Data Center No.1 is a data center project in Hoa Lac, Vietnam, operated by Ministry of Public Security (National Data Center). It is operational. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Record last checked against its sources on 13 October 2026.
This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
How Vietnam approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Vietnam.
Hanoi metro holds 6 active projects with 110 MW of planned IT load between them, and National Data Center No.1 has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational, 1 is under construction, 1 is at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Hanoi metro, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only Ministry of Public Security project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park alongside G-Campus Hoa Lac (High-Tech & Data Centre Complex), VNPT IDC Hoa Lac and Viettel IDC Hoa Lac. Named funding comes from Government of Vietnam on the equity side. The named user of the compute is Ministry of Public Security (Government of Vietnam) (confirmed).
The money on record is VND 16,800bn (about US$639m) as of August 2025, a government approval ceiling.
Grid power for a large industrial user in Vietnam costs about US$0.073 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Vietnam, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “Licence required as enforced (Country Group D:1), no named authorisation found”. ArusGrid holds 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 9 October 2025, and last checked the record on 13 October 2026.

VnExpress reports the Ministry of Public Security opened National Data Center No.1 at Hoa Lac on 18 Aug 2025 as the operator serving state agencies; the article does not itemise which national databases (population, VNeID) sit there, so no agency-level user beyond MPS is entered.

An approval figure is an incentive ceiling. It often covers a first phase and can exclude land or IT equipment.
It includes GPUs and IT hardware, so it is not comparable with building cost.
No published price band exists for Vietnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
