A series of multi-billion-dollar wind power projects are racing to make a tariff deadline, with potential energy gridlock on the horizon for Vietnam.
Wind developers ask for transitional policy
July 28, 2021 | 14:51
With world-class resource potential and rapidly growing power demand, Vietnam is facing a crucial crossroads and has the opportunity to accelerate deployment of both onshore and offshore wind, according to a new report – but the ongoing pandemic is causing regulatory challenges and delays to many projects as developers attempt to settle on incentive policies for the next stage.
Authorities cracking down on agricultural pretenders

Methods to achieve growth in tandem with energy goals
May 08, 2021 | 08:00
As Vietnam’s economy is experiencing significant growth, so is its demand for energy consumption. The industrial sector, followed by the transport one, requires the highest growth rate and in fact also consumes the largest amount of energy. Energy efficiency, among others, is an integral part of reaching economic growth with the lowest possible amount of CO2 emissions.
FiT for rooftop solar to drop 30 per cent

Balancing out growth across power sources
January 28, 2021 | 09:00
Last year saw a contrast in wind and solar power development practices. Bui Van Thinh, chairman of the Binh Thuan Wind and Solar Energy Association, delves into the factors behind the situation and suggests a remedy.
Development at stake with FiT alteration
December 09, 2020 | 16:02
The proposed dramatic reduction to the feed-in tariff risks seriously damaging the growth of Vietnam’s promising wind power sector, slowing down investment and the creation of new jobs and making it harder for the nation to meet growing energy demand, according to the Global Wind Energy Council.
Global Wind Energy Council calls on Vietnam to extend wind tariff and clean energy lead
September 24, 2020 | 18:24
An industry alliance led by the GWEC has called on Vietnam to urgently extend the wind energy Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme.
EVN suggests not to extend deadline for wind farm FiT
August 01, 2020 | 09:54
EVN would rather keep the deadline on the current FiT scheme for wind power, instead of the MoIT's proposal to extend it by two years.
FiT revamp vulnerable to speculation
May 28, 2020 | 09:00
Despite bankability concerns inherent in power purchase agreements, investing in renewable power is a bright spot in Vietnam as developers rush to take advantage of the current feed-in tariff. Some local developers, however, seem to be just in it for the money, harming the chances of latecomers and potentially causing delays in installation.
