Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hoang Long has signed Decision No. 1126/QD-BCT dated May 14, 2026, promulgating the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Action Plan to implement Directive No. 10/CT-TTg dated March 30, 2026, issued by the Prime Minister on strengthening electricity conservation and promoting rooftop solar power development.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed Directive No. 10/CT-TTg dated March 30, 2026, on strengthening electricity savings and promoting the development of rooftop solar power across Vietnam. The Directive sets out key targets for the 2026–2030 period, including achieving at least 10% adoption of rooftop solar systems among public offices and households nationwide, alongside the introduction of state budget support policies for this energy source. For 2026 alone, the Government aims to reduce total national electricity consumption by a minimum of 3%, and at least 10% during peak summer months (April–July).

March 30, 2026, HS Hyosung Advanced Materials has put into operation a 17.5 MWp rooftop solar power system at its largest production site in Vietnam, marking a major step toward building a “Smart Green Factory” model while enhancing ESG competitiveness and meeting increasingly stringent global supply chain standards.

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).

On December 8, 2025, Kolon Industries’ Ho Chi Minh City plant (formerly located in Binh Duong), in collaboration with NuriFlex Vietnam, officially commenced commercial operation of its 5.151 MWp rooftop solar power system. This development marks a meaningful step toward sustainable corporate governance and contributes to Vietnam’s national goal of carbon neutrality.

Samsung Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd. (SEV) has officially inaugurated a rooftop solar power system at its SEV factory located in the Yen Phong Industrial Park, Bac Ninh.

From April 12th to 13th, Rooftop Solar Vietnam2022, a Part of Solar Energy Future Vietnam 2022, was held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As a global renewable energy company, Hopewind was invited by the summit and launched innovative distributed photovoltaic solutions for the development of industrial and commercial rooftop photovoltaics in Vietnam.

In the city. Ho Chi Minh City, the Electricity of (EVN) has put into the test operation the rooftop solar power foundation EVNSOLAR to promote the rooftop solar power development in Vietnam.

According to the Decision 13/2020/QD-TTg (Decision 13), dated April 6, 2020 of the Prime Minister, on the incentive mechanism for solar power development in Vietnam officially coming into effect from the May 22, 2020 instead of Decision 11/2017/QD-TTg expiring on June 30, 2019, the rooftop solar power projects in coming time expect to be developed very strongly.

The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) anticipated thatthe capacity of rooftop solar power will reachapproximately 2,000 MW by the end of 2020,contributing to ensuring power security.
