Domestic cost, insurance and freight oil prices are projected based on the antici-pated growth rate of global crude oil prices (Danish Energy Agency, Embassy of Denmark, MOIT & EREA, 2021).
The battery storage technologies do not calculate levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or levelized cost of storage (LCOS) and so do not use financial assumptions. Therefore, all parameters are the same for the research and development
- Finalizing and analizing the results of "Scientific conference on application of energy storage systems and technologies to improve efficiency for renewable energy projects in Vietnam" held at the end of November 2021 in
The Vietnam Residential Energy Storage Market is being driven by a confluence of factors. First and foremost, the increasing energy demand in Vietnam, along with an emphasis on
Repeals the ITC/PTC extension (including the domestic content, energy community, and low-income bonuses, as well as the labor requirements), and the 25D extension (including revoking
In addition to price differences based on system size, there is variation in the price of standalone (no energy storage) distributed PV systems between states and within individual markets.
Viet Nam''s gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an average annual rate of 6.1%, from $29.5 billion in 1990 to $162.2 billion in 2019 (constant 2010 US$). The commercial sector
Despite being mentioned as the mainstream power source in the future, renewable energy still has weaknesses in terms of stability and ability to ensure the safety of the power transmission
As global costs for solar, wind, and battery storage systems fall, Vietnam could replace fixed feed-in tariffs (FiTs) with standardized competitive auctions to procure clean energy at the lowest cost. This approach has
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
The U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge is a comprehensive program that seeks to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage
In PDP VIII the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) reported to Government on February 02, 2022, the LNG power development should reach 38,830 MW (including 23,900
Over the long term, median installed prices have fallen by roughly $0.4/W per year, on average, but price declines have tapered off since 2013, after which price declines averaged

Vietnam has experienced rapid economic expansion, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 6.2% from 2002 to 2022, resulting in a per capita income increase to nearly USD 3,700 (World
Over the past two decades, Vietnam witnessed one of the fastest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita growth rates (averaging 5.5 percent a year), yielding a three-and-a-half-fold increase
One of the key highlights of Vietnam''s revised Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) is the significant increase in the targets for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Vietnam represents a promising market for German and European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in energy storage solutions, thanks to their technical expertise and established reputation in RE technologies.
Export-oriented businesses, especially in manu-facturing, are under growing pressure to meet stringent requirements. At the same time, the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is accelerating, driven by Vietnam’s abundant renewable energy (RE) potential, particularly in solar and wind power.
At the same time, the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is accelerating, driven by Vietnam’s abundant renewable energy (RE) potential, particularly in solar and wind power. However, owing to the intermittent nature of these energy sources, storage solutions are required to ensure continuous electricity supply.
Utility-scale battery storage is pivotal in supporting Vietnam's renewable energy goals by stabilizing the grid amidst fluctuating energy supplies from solar and wind sources. Strategic partnerships are fostering the integration of large-scale battery systems, which are essential for accommodating new renewable capacities.
In May 2025, and Vietnam’s average electricity price per kWH was set at VND 2,204.07 or about US $0.084, excluding value-added tax (VAT), per Decision 599/QD-EVN. This was an increase from an average electricity price per kWH of VND 2,103.1159 or about US $0.0836, excluding value-added tax (VAT), per Decision 2699/QD-BCT, from October 2024.
The plan expects storage batteries to reach a capacity of 300 MW by 2030, accounting for 0.2% of Vietnam’s total electricity capacity. However, the policy framework for BESSs in Vietnam is still being refined and will continue to be adjusted to align with the country’s economic and environmental development goals.
