Gia Lai is one of the provinces with a large potential to develop renewable energy, has an average sunshine hour number of 1,900-2,200 hours per year, total solar radiation of 335-380 kcal/cm2 or daily average solar radiation about 4.6-5.2 kWh/m2. The total potential for developing solar power projects (SPPs) in Gia Lai is 7500 MW, among which more than 5000 MW for ground projects and 2500 MW for floating projects.

On Sept. 20, 2017, in Hanoi, the World Bank (WB) and Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) launched a campaign to promote the deployment of renewable energy by the installation of five stations for measuring solar radiation across the entire territory of Vietnam. These stations will collect solar radiation data with a high quality, which help to improve accuracy of estimating solar energy sources. The collected data will be free online provided to encourage and support investors in developing the solar power projects in Vietnam.
