How has the FIT program impacted solar power development in Vietnam?
The FiT program has been a major driver of solar power development in Vietnam, offering a tariff of 9.35 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for projects completed by June 2019. This program led to a surge in solar capacity, reaching 4.46 gigawatts of new installations.
Can solar and wind power meet Vietnam's near-term energy needs?
Such financial hurdles have challenged the government’s ability to use fossil fuels to expand electricity supply in step with Vietnam’s fast-growing economy. Contrastingly, solar and wind power’s lower capital requirements and faster development timelines are well-suited to meeting Vietnam’s near-term energy needs.
Can solar and wind power investors invest in small-scale storage batteries?
Solar and wind power investors can only invest in small-scale storage batteries to store a small part of the generating electricity at times of RE reduction and discharge it to the system at peak hours for reducing losses of the investors due to RE electricity cutting.
