To meet the country’s target of having 12 GW of solar power capacity installed by 2030, the Government of Vietnam should consider a deployment strategy that builds experience, lowers costs, and maximizes economic benefits.
The future of Vietnam’s solar power capacity looks bright, with several key developments on the horizon: Capacity Growth: Projections suggest that Vietnam’s solar power capacity could reach 25-30 GW by 2030, contributing significantly to the country’s renewable energy targets.
Vietnam is making significant strides in its renewable energy sector, focusing on solar power as a key component of its energy strategy. By 2030, the country aims to generate 16% of its energy from solar, driven by substantial investments in solar farms across the nation.
Under PDP8, 50% of Vietnam’s installed power capacity will come from solar and wind by 2050, more than double today’s share. Solar alone is projected to make up 34.4% of total power capacity by that time. To meet its net-zero target by 2050, Vietnam will need massive investments, or an estimated $2.4 trillion between 2024 and 2050.
The introduction of the FiT was a significant catalyst, driving a rapid increase in solar capacity and establishing Vietnam as a leader in Southeast Asia’s renewable energy landscape. Although the FiT mechanism has since expired, new opportunities have emerged to sustain and expand solar energy development in the country.
As of 2024, the country’s total installed solar capacity has reached an impressive 16.5 gigawatts (GW), a significant increase from just 0.1 GW in 2018. This exponential growth has positioned Vietnam as one of the leading countries in Southeast Asia for solar energy adoption.
