Vietnam is no doubt the number one emerging PV market in 2019. And it still has great potential. But how solar business opportunities can be explored in this market? How much is it the same or different from northern neighbor China? A summit conference may help figure those questions out.

On 6th November 2019, in Ho Chi Minh City, after the first successful exploration in Spain of Europe in past June, PV Box, a Chinese vertical professional solar media successfully held another solar and wind summit in the center of this hottest Southeast Asia market of 2019.

The summit attracted more than 300 participants, from many leading companies, regulatory agencies, including top-ranked domestic and foreign investors in the field of renewable energy, as well as various financial institutions and distributors in Vietnam.  

The Vietnamese government aims to produce 10.7% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Vietnam's PV installations reached 13.437GW (ground + roof) in 2020. Vietnam has installed more than 101,939 rooftop solar systems with a total installed capacity of more than 9.3GW as of January 4, 2021, according to the report of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN).  

From the results of the international conference "Policies for developing the wind, solar and gas power projects in Vietnam" organized by the Department of Electricity and Renewable Energy - Ministry of Industry and Trade, Scientific Council of Vietnam Energy Magazine at the end of August 2022 in Ho Chi Minh City, the Conference Organizing Committee has reported to the Prime Minister and the Central Economic Commission on mechanisms and policies for developing these power projects in coming time.

Within the framework of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc's working trip to the United States, T&T group (Vietnam) and UPC Renewables (USA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation to develop wind power (onshore, near-shore) and solar power projects with a total capacity of about 1,500 MW and a total investment of about US& 2.5 billion in Ninh Thuan, Dak Nong, Dak Nong, Soc Trang, Ben Tre and Bac Lieu provinces.

According to the figure released by the Ministry of Industry and Trade yesterday, there will be varying degrees of power shortages from 2019 to 2025. The most serious shortage will be concentrated in the dry season from 2020 to 2023, with production shortages ranging from 1.5 billion kWh to 5 billion kWh.
