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.

Where it sits

Hanoi metro holds 6 active projects with 110 MW of planned IT load between them, and Viettel IDC Hoa Lac ranks second by planned capacity. 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.

Viettel has 2 others in Vietnam tracked by ArusGrid, including Viettel Tan Phu Trung Data Center & High-Tech R&D Complex and Viettel An Khanh Data Center. It sits on the Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park alongside G-Campus Hoa Lac (High-Tech & Data Centre Complex), National Data Center No.1 and VNPT IDC Hoa Lac. Named funding comes from Viettel Group on the equity side. The named user of the compute is Viettel AI (Viettel Group division) (reported, unconfirmed).

The stage was recorded as operational on 10 April 2024.

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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 11 April 2024, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Runs compute here · AI labViettel AI (Viettel Group division) · reported, unconfirmed

Nvidia DGX B200 system (8 B200 GPUs) for Vietnamese LLM and multimodal R&D; Hoa Lac 2 also carries 100+ H200 server clusters (Jun 2026) · as of 2026-02-10

DCD reports Viettel deployed a DGX B200 at Hoa Lac High Tech Park operated by Viettel AI for model development. The Jun 2026 Viettel announcement of Hoa Lac 2 as an Uptime Tier III AI DC with over 100 H200 clusters names no external user. Operator-group workload, named at the building; ArusGrid's record may need splitting if Hoa Lac 2 is a separate building.
