Vietnam faces power shortage despite excess of renewable energy

Vietnam faces power shortage despite excess of renewable energy

While renewable energy sources are currently in surplus, the national power system in 2023 is at risk of experiencing electricity shortages due to extreme weather conditions and many hydropower plants reaching dangerously low water levels.

Vietnam determinedly improving traffic congestion in Central Highlands

Compared to the time adopting Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW by the Politburo on January 18, 2022 on maintaining the stability of political security in the border areas, Resolution No.23 of the Government this time leans more on attracting investments for economic growth of the Central Highlands. This is the comment of Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Duy Dong in the interview conducted by Sai Gon Giai Phong (SGGP) Newspaper.

Trillion-dong solar power projects wait for going online

Trillion-dong solar power projects wait for going online

In response to the Government's policy of solar power development, many businesses have invested trillions of Vietnamese dong. However, for many objective and subjective reasons, many projects could not complete before January 1, 2021, so they cannot sell electricity, wasting billions of Vietnamese dong every day.

The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) will invest more in clean energy in the years ahead to meet the rising demand for power in national development.
Thermal power slumps as renewable energy soars 180 percent

Thermal power slumps as renewable energy soars 180 percent

According to Vietnam Electricity (EVN), in the first quarter of this year, electricity mobilized from gas-fired thermal power plants and coal-fired thermal power plants must cut by 12-21 percent compared to last year because renewable energy (solar power) increased rapidly by up to 180 percent.
Government to have new policy on purchase of solar power soon

Government to have new policy on purchase of solar power soon

Nearly a week after the Vietnam Electricity (EVN) stopped receiving grid connection and purchasing solar power following Decision No.13/2020 signed on April 6, last year, by the Prime Minister on the mechanism to encourage the development of solar power in Vietnam, which expired after December 31, last year, investors are anxiously waiting for new regulations.

High expectations on renewable energy

Renewable energy (RE) projects from wind, sunlight, and biomass are expected to make up for the shortage of electricity supply and gradually replace thermal and hydroelectric sources of power. This is especially important in the context that thermal power plants, especially small hydroelectric power plants, are negatively affecting the environment.

Power supply excessive, power grids insufficient

Rapid development of solar power plants has led to overloading on the transmission lines and electrical substations from 110kV to 500 kV in Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces. Meanwhile, overhead power line projects to transmit power generated by solar power plants have faced several difficulties, especially obstacles in site clearance.
