From boom to balance in Vietnam''s clean energy transition
As global costs for solar, wind, and battery storage systems fall, Vietnam could replace fixed feed-in tariffs (FiTs) with standardized competitive auctions to procure clean energy at the
As global costs for solar, wind, and battery storage systems fall, Vietnam could replace fixed feed-in tariffs (FiTs) with standardized competitive auctions to procure clean energy at the lowest cost.
Vietnam can leverage domestic solar manufacturing to meet domestic demand, implement direct power purchase agreements (DPPAs) enabling private renewable supplies, accelerate grid and battery storage infrastructure, and avoid costly LNG imports by prioritizing renewables.
Vietnams total power demand is expected to grow 10% annually during the period 2021-2024, and power shortages are expected to increase in different regions of the country.
As Vietnam grapples with rising power purchase costs and mounting utility losses, policymakers are under pressure to recalibrate the system to ensure long-term financial sustainability.
