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.

Does Vietnam have new feed-in tariffs for solar power?
April | Southeast Asia Impact Alliance Vietnam is taking another step toward modernizing its renewable energy sector by unveiling updated feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for solar power, with a notable emphasis on encouraging battery energy storage systems (BESS).
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 are the new fits for solar power projects?
These updated FiTs aim to enhance grid reliability while aligning with the nation’s broader energy transition strategy. The most significant development in this update is the introduction of differentiated tariffs for solar power projects that incorporate battery storage.
Are solar plants equipped with Bess eligible for higher rates?
For the first time, solar plants equipped with BESS will be eligible for higher rates to compensate for the added complexity and investment costs. Tariff levels are also region-specific, taking into account solar radiation potential in Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam.
Most significantly, the Decision introduces separate tariffs for solar power projects that incorporate battery energy storage systems (BESS). This development reflects a growing policy emphasis on grid flexibility and energy reliability.
