Amid the global energy transition and Vietnam’s commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, greening industrial parks (IPs) is no longer an option but an imperative. Emerging trade barriers such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and sustainability reporting requirements under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are exerting direct pressure on Vietnam’s export-oriented enterprises, compelling them to demonstrate that their products are manufactured using clean energy. A recent field survey conducted across four representative industrial parks, Amata and Long Duc in Dong Nai Province, and Kinh Bac (Que Vo) and VSIP in Bac Ninh Province provides a comprehensive picture of the current status, progress made, and the legal and technical bottlenecks facing the deployment of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
