These innovations, coupled with improved battery technologies, will play a pivotal role in driving the future growth of Vietnam''s rooftop solar market. How InCorp Vietnam Can Help? InCorp Vietnam provides essential
Vietnam''s solar star is clearly on the rise. In 2016, the long awaited announcement of the first solar feed-in tariff (FiT) policy for solar project development (also further referred to as FiT phase 1) in Vietnam triggered a
Declining Battery Costs: Falling prices of lithium-ion batteries are making energy storage systems more affordable for residential and utility-scale projects in Vietnam.
By 2030, solar paired with batteries will achieve a cheaper LCOE than new thermal power plants, while electricity from onshore wind paired with batteries would also become cheaper by the first half of the 2030s.
These innovations, coupled with improved battery technologies, will play a pivotal role in driving the future growth of Vietnam''s rooftop solar market. How InCorp Vietnam
Vietnam Renewable Energy Development surges with $135B strategies, bold policies, and global-leading growth in solar, wind, and clean energy investments.
With global costs for solar, wind, and battery storage systems continuing to fall, Vietnam could replace fixed FiTs with transparent auctions, enabling clean energy procurement at the lowest cost.
Latest analysis from SolarPower Europe reveals that, in 2023, Europe installed 17.2 GWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS); a 94% increase compared to 2022.
The goal is to increase battery capacity to 300 MW and support a financial policy that facilitates the implementation and growth of this pilot BESS project. Dubey believed
The Government of Vietnam is revisiting its solar targets under the Power Development Plan 8 for the period 2021– 2030 (PDP 8). The current target under discussion for solar generation is 18
Vietnam''s long-awaited Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) has recently been approved, setting ambitious renewable-energy goals for 2030—similar to the recommendations for Vietnam to embrace renewables set

Vietnam Solar Energy and Battery Storage Market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD XX Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of XX%
Vietnam is now developing a competitive bidding mechanism for solar energy to improve grid efficiency, promote competition, and ensure a stable energy supply, but it’s currently in the works and hasn’t been implemented yet. As such, Vietnam has been in a transition phase since the end of the FiT policy.
A well-organized solar auction in Vietnam in 2019 could result in power purchase agreements with prices of US$0.055–0.065/kWh over 25 years (in levelized real terms and with an appropriate allocation of contractual risk).
Previously, owners of private solar power plants, whether rooftop or large-scale, could only sell electricity to the grid through conventional power purchase agreements (PPAs), with no option for direct sales to consumers. In Vietnam, there are two types of DPPAs: private-wire DPPAs and on-grid DPPAs.
Solar power is an increasingly attractive electricity generating option for Vietnam thanks to recent cost reductions, fast construction, and the contribution solar power can make to ensuring energy security and environmental sustainability.
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.
FiT mechanisms set a fixed price for solar energy, overlooking regional variations in solar potential. This resulted in underdevelopment of solar PV in northern Vietnam, where solar radiation is low, while leading to overdevelopment in the south-central and southern regions, where solar radiation is high.
