Is Vietnam ready for a competitive bidding mechanism for solar energy?
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.
How does fit affect solar energy development in Vietnam?
FiT mechanisms set a fixed price for solar energy, overlooking regional variations in solar potential. This resulted in underdevelopment of solar PV in northern Vietnam, where solar radiation is low, while leading to overdevelopment in the south-central and southern regions, where solar radiation is high.
Why is Vietnam a leader in solar energy development?
The introduction of the FiT was a significant catalyst, driving a rapid increase in solar capacity and establishing Vietnam as a leader in Southeast Asia’s renewable energy landscape. Although the FiT mechanism has since expired, new opportunities have emerged to sustain and expand solar energy development in the country.
Can solar projects be financed in Vietnam?
Owing to the current contractual structure proposed by the government, most solar projects in Vietnam are expected to be financed under a corporate loan or at 100 percent equity, with refinancing possible at a later stage.
Does Vietnam have a role in the expansion of solar energy?
This article examines Vietnam’s key policies and models that have played a crucial role in driving the expansion of solar energy. They can provide guidance for addressing market challenges, drawing in new investments, and advancing a country toward its climate targets.
How much solar power will Vietnam have in ?
Under the plan, the total installed capacity is expected to be 60 GW in , 96 GW in , and 130 GW in . Vietnam’s solar potential is illustrated in figure 1.1. Revised PDP 7 places greater emphasis than the previous PDP on renewable energy development.

To meet the country’s target of having 12 GW of solar power capacity installed by , the Government of Vietnam should consider a deployment strategy that builds experience, lowers costs, and maximizes economic benefits. This document has been developed based on the results of studies conducted

Vietnamese authorities are looking to retroactively revise purchase prices for 173 solar and wind projects, reducing revenues by 25% to 46%, risking bankruptcies across the renewable energy sector, and jeopardizing investor confidence needed to meet the government’s targets of 73 gigawatts
The development of solar energy has accelerated since following the introduction of Decision 11//QĐ-TTg, which established a feed-in tariff (FiT [4]) price to incentivize investment in renewable energy. Originally, this policy was set to expire on June 30, , but Decision 13//QĐ-TTg
Vietnam's amendment to the National Power Development Plan VIII (Decision 768/QD-TTg) to , reaffirms its commitment to renewable energy and positions Vietnam as a regional frontrunner in the global energy transition. A lecturer in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering at RMIT Vietnam, Dr

Vietnam Renewables: Investment Priorities
While Vietnam has more than 50% of its installed capacity in renewable technology (and approximately 30% of solar and wind), the rest of the generation stack is dominated by carbon
Financing Renewable Energy Projects in Vietnam
Financing − Non bankable PPA hinders international non-recourse long tenor Project Financing − Local banks: interest rate risks − Increasing interest rate environment
From boom to balance in Vietnam’s clean energy
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’s Promising Solar Energy Expansion and
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.
Vietnam’s solar strategy for trade-tense times
By developing domestic production capacity for solar panels, batteries, and related technologies, Vietnam could reduce import dependence while creating high-value jobs and fostering technological innovation.
