Vietnam at night
Vietnam’s government made a similar request of Foxconn and others in June 2023, at a point when drought in the country was reducing hydroelectric power generation. It was also a point when firms such as Foxconn were expanding their facilities as part of Apple suppliers’ move away from China. That expansion has continued, and so has the strain on Vietnam’s infrastructure.
