How much solar power will Vietnam have by 2030?
This far surpassed the original 2020 target of 850 MW (Government of Vietnam, 2016) and is even approaching the tentative target of 18,600 MW of installed solar power capacity by 2030 that appears in the draft version of Vietnam's Power Development Plan 8 (Vietnam Energy Institute, 2021).
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 many solar PV systems are installed in Vietnam?
More than 100,000 rooftop solar PV systems were installed in Vietnam in 2019 and 2020, an extraordinary achievement (Electricity of Vietnam, 2020). While most of the ASEAN countries share similar opportunities, they have yet to experience the rapid progress in solar and wind development seen in Vietnam (Fig. 1). Fig. 1.
How many solar PV jobs are there in Vietnam?
The 12 GW PV target is expected to support as many as 25,000 full-time jobs in project development, services and O&M annually in the period through 2030 (figure 6.2). Solar PV–related employment in Vietnam will derive from (i) development and operation of solar PV power plants, and (ii) manufacturing of equipment.
