Transforming Vietnam''s renewable energy infrastructure market
Vietnam''s energy sector is facing a complex set of challenges, primarily driven by its rapidly growing economy and the need to transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
Vietnam is now developing a competitive bidding mechanism for solar energy to improve grid efficiency, promote competition, and ensure a stable energy supply, but it's currently in the works and hasn't been implemented yet. As such, Vietnam has been in a transition phase since the end of the FiT policy.
Vietnam's solar power sector is governed by a number of key regulations and policies aimed at promoting the development of renewable energy while managing the challenges associated with rapid growth.
Previously, owners of private solar power plants, whether rooftop or large-scale, could only sell electricity to the grid through conventional power purchase agreements (PPAs), with no option for direct sales to consumers. In Vietnam, there are two types of DPPAs: private-wire DPPAs and on-grid DPPAs.
Vietnam's solar power industry has grown rapidly since 2017, driven by generous feed-in tariffs and strong government support. The country now has one of the highest installed solar capacities in Southeast Asia, contributing significantly to its renewable energy goals. 2.
