Vietnam's solar policy update highlights growing role of energy storage. (Photo: iStock) Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has announced a new round of feed-in tariffs (FIT) for solar power, introducing location-based pricing and, for the first time, incorporating energy storage systems.
Conditions for systems with storage include a minimum storage capacity of 10% of the solar plant's installed capacity, a charge/discharge time of 2 hours, and at least 5% of total generation used for charging the storage system. Overall, projects with storage receive higher FIT rates. Previously, Vietnam's FiTs were relatively low.
Overall, projects with storage receive higher FIT rates. Previously, Vietnam's FiTs were relatively low. In January 2023, the top rate was NT$1.49/kWh for ground-mounted solar and NT$1.89/kWh for floating solar, with no regional or storage-based distinctions.
Supa Waisayarat, Vietnam's adversary consultant at Thailand's Super Energy Corporation, noted that the new scheme supports the adoption of storage and provides developers and investors with more transparent pricing, which could encourage more power purchase agreements (PPAs) and improve financing confidence.
