Solar power in Vietnam (Part 2): Solutions and development policies
Thứ tư, 30/11/2016
We can say the exploitation of solar energy to produce electricity for life is becoming increasingly popular and has become one of the best solutions to help save fossil energy, reduce pollution and direction to sustainable development. Therefore, we should concretize the mechanisms and policies to maximize the development potential of solar power in Vietnam as soon as possible.

Therefore, we should concretize the mechanisms and policies to maximize the development potential of solar power in Vietnam as soon as possible.
Viet Nam's government has advocated stepping up development of power from renewable energy, including solar power as a solution to the challenge of combating global climate change. Specifically, in Decision No. 428 / QD-TTg dated on March 18, 2016 on approving the adjusted master plan on national electricity development in 2011-2020, with a vision for 2030, the government policy has clearly shown that the solar energy sector must be prioritized to develop, including developing the centralized installation sources on the ground and scattered sources on the roof. The objective of Decision 428 is the total capacity of solar power resources to approximately 850MW in 2020 and about 12000 MW in 2030.
In the other hand, there should have the policies of supporting to enterprises to borrow capital for investment in the production and vehicles, equipments which use solar power. The government also needs to give the standard norms for devices by using solar energy, implementation of quality tests, performance of imported products, domestic business. That could help to limit the circulation of poor quality products and simultaneously give the right direction for the people of efficiency solar.
There is one more important and urgent decision which the government should have in the near future. That is announcing the purchase price and sale of solar power to make the rational mechanism national grid for producing and using solar power. To be able to attract investors into the solar market, Dr. Nguyen Huy Plan, the Clean Energy Association said that Vietnam needs additional provisions, mechanisms encourage the development of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment sun in the water, raise the localization rate to gradually reduce the electricity price of solar power projects.
Dr. Nguyen Huy Plan also proposed the government should give the reasonable buy-sell price regulation for solar power, in order to harmonize the interests of the parties: the investors, Vietnam Electricity and goals development of green power by the Government. In addition to off-grid power projects and solar power project on the roof, the government also needs to consider the additional mechanisms in purchasing, sale, exchanging power with the installation of households using solar energy that have the accumulated surplus power.
More importantly, the government should have policies for investment and development of human resources to study and manufacture solar cells, as well as consultancy manpower to build solar power factories. If we own a good system of mechanisms, policies are comprehensive and workforce expertise serving the solar power industry, we will have the key to develop a larger solar power system across our country, give the economy an efficiency solution to grow and lead to a sustainable development.
