How much does a solar plant cost in Vietnam?
Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has published the new feed-in tariffs for utility-scale solar plants. For projects without battery storage, the tariff will be VND 1,382.7 ($0.053)/kWh for the northern part of the country, VDN 1,107.1/kWh for the central part, and VDN 1,012.0/kWh for the southern region.
What does Vietnam's Solar Policy update mean for energy storage?
Vietnam’s solar policy update highlights growing role of energy storage. (Photo: iStock) Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has announced a new round of feed-in tariffs (FIT) for solar power, introducing location-based pricing and, for the first time, incorporating energy storage systems.
What are the conditions for solar storage in Vietnam?
Conditions for systems with storage include a minimum storage capacity of 10% of the solar plant’s installed capacity, a charge/discharge time of 2 hours, and at least 5% of total generation used for charging the storage system. Overall, projects with storage receive higher FIT rates. Previously, Vietnam’s FiTs were relatively low.
What is the new tariff structure for solar projects in Vietnam?
Under the updated tariff structure, solar projects are now divided into ground-mounted and floating categories, and segmented further by region—North, Central, and South Vietnam. Tariffs are calibrated based on solar resource availability, infrastructure costs, and local electricity demand, with higher rates awarded to projects that integrate ESS.
How much solar power does Vietnam have?
According to the latest statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Vietnam had approximately 18.66 GW of installed PV capacity at the end of . Last year's new additions totaled around 79 MW. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.
How will Vietnam's new energy storage scheme help investors?
Supa Waisayarat, Vietnam’s adversary consultant at Thailand’s Super Energy Corporation, noted that the new scheme supports the adoption of storage and provides developers and investors with more transparent pricing, which could encourage more power purchase agreements (PPAs) and improve financing confidence.
The Vietnamese authorities released the feed-in tariff levels for ground-mounted and floating PV plants, with or without storage.
For projects without battery storage, the tariff will be VND 1,382.7 ($0.053)/kWh for the northern part of the country, VDN 1,107.1/kWh for the central part, and VDN 1,012.0/kWh for the southern region. For solar power plants relying on battery storage systems, the FiTs for the three regions will
In January , rates topped out at NT$1.49/kWh for ground-mounted solar and NT$1.89/kWh for floating solar, with no additional incentives for energy storage. The new policy has received a mixed response from the renewable energy sector. Supa Waisayarat, Vietnam advisor for Thailand-based Super
For ground-mounted solar farms without battery storage, the maximum price (excluding VAT) is set at VNĐ1,382.7 (approximately US$0.05)/kWh in the North, VNĐ1,107.1/kWh in the Central region and VNĐ1,012/kWh in the South. Floating solar plants without battery storage are entitled to higher ceilings:
