Vietnam permits sales of excess self-use rooftop solar power to national grid. Systems installed on the roofs of houses, offices, industrial parks, production and commercial establishments are eligible for the new mechanism The new rule is to promote the development of self-produced and self-consumed solar energy in the South-east Asian
Whether models such as the equipment leasing model or the deferred payment sales model would qualify as “self-produced and self-consumed” rooftop solar power also remains to be seen. While there is a degree of ambiguity in the licensing regime under Decree 135, Decree 135 clearly encourages the development of sub 100kW rooftop systems for residential

Rooftop solar and other renewable power can now be sold directly through private transmission lines without having to go through Vietnam Electricity as an intermediary.
- On August 30, 2022, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Department of Electricity and Renewable Energy (Ministry of Industry and Trade) in collaboration with the Scientific Council
The Government of Vietnam has authorised direct power purchase agreements (DPPA) for rooftop solar, waste-to-energy (WtE), and biomass projects. These agreements will allow renewable energy (RE) producers to sell power directly to large consumers without involving Vietnam Electricity (EVN). RE producers can use private power lines or the national grid for
“Self-produced, self-consumed electricity” is defined as energy generated and used solely by consumers to meet their own needs. This definition as well as Decree 135 do not address the origin of the ownership of the RSP systems used to generate electricity, implying that consumers may legally acquire ownership of RSP systems through purchase, borrowing, or renting.
Under the eighth national power development plan (PDP8), the total rooftop solar power capacity is expected to increase by 2,600MW, with at least 50 per cent of office buildings and residential homes expected to use self
The Solar Energy market in Vietnam is projected to grow by 1.28% (2025-2029) resulting in a market volume of 30.97bn kWh in 2029. Annual car sales worldwide 2010-2023, with a forecast for 2024
Fig. 2. Potential of using solar energy in Vietnam. Solar energy in Vietnam is available year-round, quite stable and widely distributed in different regions of the country. In particular, the average number of sunny days in the provinces of the central and southern regions is about 300 days/year. Solar energy can be harnessed for two uses

A RE GENCO is defined as an electric power unit that owns power plants enabled by solar energy, wind, small hydropower, biomass, geothermal, ocean waves, tides, ocean currents, and other forms of renewable energy. expecting that Decree 135 would create a nexus with the DPPA Decree and provide better and clear guidance regarding the direct
Rooftop solar, waste-to-energy, and biomass power projects may soon bypass state utility EVN for direct sales, according to Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha.
On June 21, Deputy Prime minister Tran Hong Ha chaired a meeting to review and finalize the draft Decree regulating mechanisms and policies to encourage the development of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power before submitting it to the Prime Minister. Goverment Signed and issued.. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized that the
Vietnam Solar Energy Market is witnessing significant growth in recent years due to various factors such as increasing government support, favorable policies, Growing awareness about the environmental benefits of solar energy. Declining costs of solar equipment and improving technology efficiency. sales@markwideresearch ; 444 Alaska
Waste-to-energy facilities are not included in the deal. Investors can sell power to the Vietnam Electricity-operated national grid, either through the spot electricity market or the state-run power energy group. According to the decree, solar and wind energy investors must have a capacity of at least 10 megawatts to sign a supply deal.
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.

On 13 September 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Trade held a meeting to discuss the latest draft amendment of the Law on Electricity No. 28/2004/QH11, amended in 2012 and 2022 (the “Amended LOE”), introducing significant changes to the regulation of Vietnam''s electricity sector.The Amended LOE is scheduled to be presented to the National Assembly for review
The draft decree allows businesses developing rooftop solar power systems to connect with the national grid (to ensure stable electricity supply, i.e., the systems'' owners can use electricity from the national grid if the electricity output of the rooftop solar power systems is not high enough to satisfy households'' demand), but they are not allowed to sell electricity to
Solar panel fields share land with rice fields in Vietnam''s border region. Photo by Thoai Pham / Alamy Stock Photo. A New Catalyst for Accelerating Renewable Energy Adoption. Businesses in Vietnam can further accelerate their use of renewable energy thanks to a new policy framework called the Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA).
The Government has just issued Decree No. 80/2024/ND-CP dated July 3, 7 (Decree 2024) regulating the direct power purchase and sale mechanism (DPPA) between renewable energy generators (RE) ) For customers using large electricity, transmission follows two options: using the national grid or private grid.
Solar and wind energy generators must have a capacity of at least 10MW to sign a supply deal. Buyers and sellers can negotiate their own terms and prices for the direct sales, and excess production can be sold to EVN at pre-determined prices. Buyers too can purchase electricity from EVN. They can also buy from non-EVN energy retailers.
PDP8 also states that Vietnam''s solar power potential is 963GW, with land-based solar accounting for about 837.4GW, floating solar for around 77.4GW, and rooftop solar for about 48.2GW.
The decree, announced on July 3, outlines a mechanism for direct power transactions between renewable energy producers and major electricity consumers. This initiative aims to enhance flexibility and competition
Solar power industry. The potential for solar energy in Vietnam is between 60 and 100 GWh per year for concentrated solar power, while for photovoltaic (PV) systems, it is around 0.8 to 1.2 GWH per year.
Last year, Vietnam had a solar LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of $0.046 per kWh for solar electricity. The cost in the United States was $0.055 per unit of power, and in Turkey it was $0.064.
The potential for solar energy in Vietnam is between 60 and 100 GWh per year for concentrated solar power, while for photovoltaic (PV) systems, it is around 0.8 to 1.2 GWH per year. With around 1,600 to 2,700 hours of sunlight per year and an average direct normal irradiance (DNI) of 4-5 kWh/m2, the country has huge potential for solar power.
Mordor Intelligence, a market research and advisory firm, projects that Vietnam's energy demand will increase by 10 percent annually over the next five years, which means the required power capacity will also need to double. Consequently, the solar power market will be crucial in addressing this substantial energy demand.
Vietnam's solar energy market, driven by high solar potential and strong government support, plays a key role in the country's “Net Zero” commitment, among other fields of green energy. For foreign investors, this presents a golden opportunity to tap into a rapidly growing sector with sustainable impacts.
Vietnam currently has approximately 103,000 rooftop solar power projects across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, boasting a total installed capacity of over 9,500 MW. By 2030, Vietnam aims to significantly increase its solar capacity, projecting that 50 percent of households will have rooftop solar installations.
