These projects have received official acceptance test results from competent state agencies (CCA) after their recognized commercial operation date (COD).

On October 19, at the Government headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting of the Government Standing Committee with ministries and agencies on the implementation of important projects of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) and Electricity of Vietnam Group (EVN) to ensure adequate electricity supply and ensure national energy security.

On October 3, in Hanoi, the Chairman of the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), Mr. Dang Hoang An received and worked with Ms. Carolyn Turk, WB National Director in Vietnam and WB Mission. The two sides discussed promoting and extending cooperative activities between EVN and WB including renewable energy.

Updating the status of receiving documents, results of negotiations, ratifies of electricity prices, signing the power purchase agreements, acceptance of projects... for transitional renewable energy projects, Vietnam Energy Magazine cited data from the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) updated on the morning of October 2, 2023, for readers to refer to.

The Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Tran Hong Ha and Mr. Graham Stuart - Secretary of State in charge of Energy Security and Carbon Neutrality (Net Zero) of the United Kingdom have agreed to promote a number of specific renewable energy projects with the participation of leading enterprises of the two countries, as a basis for exchanging and sharing experiences of the two sides in a substantive and effective way.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has just required Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) to urgently coordinate with the investors of the transitional wind and solar power projects to unify the electricity prices before March 31, 2023.

On November 2, a mission of the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) headed by Mr. Tran Duy Dong, Deputy Minister had a working meeting with the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) on formulating policies for the large state own enterprises. At the meeting, PVN proposed to license it to invest in the offshore renewable energy projects for taking advantage of PVN current resources and infrastructures to contribute to meeting the needs and commitments of Vietnam at COP26.

At the meeting with leaders of Vietnam - Russia Joint Venture (Vietsovpetro), PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC), Vietnam Oil and Gas Construction Corporation (PETROCONs) on preparation to participate in the offshore renewable energy projects, Mr. Hoang Quoc Vuong – Chairman of the Member Council of PetroVietnam (PVN) proposed the study to establish a complex for developing the renewable energy value chain, strengthening cooperation ability, promoting each other's capacity and meeting the requirements of domestic and international investors in this field.

With the strong commitment of the Prime Minister of Vietnam at COP26: "Vietnam will conduct greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050", increasing the proportion of wind and solar power projects in the power system should be given the highest priority. Although the wind and solar power projects are the clean energy sources, but their instability is causing difficulties and increasing the operating costs of Vietnam's power system. Applying the energy/electricity storage systems becomes necessary and important today and in the future. The scientific workshop "Applying energy storage system and efficient technology for renewable energy projects in Vietnam" was organized by the Scientific Council of Vietnam Energy Magazine in Hanoi. The workshop was an opportunity for the relevant stakeholders to share demands, challenges and experiences in applying energy storage systems (ESS) in Vietnam.
