HÀ NỘI — A draft document on solar power development will be filed to the Prime Minister for approval on December 15, local media reported.

Under the draft, bidding price for the output of solar power production, also known as the feed in tariff (FiT), is set at VNĐ1,916 (8.38 US cents) per kWh for rooftop projects, VNĐ1,620 (7.09 cents) per kWh for ground projects and VNĐ1,758 (7.69 cents) per kWh for floating projects.

Analysis: Floating solar power along the dammed-up Mekong River

Analysis by  on 3 December 2019

  • This year, the first floating solar power generating system in Southeast Asia was deployed on a reservoir in Vietnam.
  • Floating solar power systems are being written into the energy master plans of Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines as well as Vietnam, and into the calculations of investment banks.
  • The technology presents an alternative to additional hydroelectric power projects.

For two decades or more, alarms have been sounding for the Mekong Delta. It’s being hammered by climate change, by a proliferation of upstream dams, by unsustainable and inappropriate farming practices, by greed and political expediency. The punishment the delta’s taking has been well reported, first in scholarly papers, then in specialized publications and appeals by NGOs.

Now there’s a consensus: an environmental disaster is inexorably unfolding over 75,000 square kilometers (29,000 square miles) of famously fertile lowlands in Vietnam and Cambodia, home to some 35 million farmers and fishermen. Major media are publishing melancholy obituaries for the Mekong that once was.

China reportedly ready to end large scale PV subsidies this year

Having envisioned an 18-month transition to grid parity solar in the world’s biggest PV marketplace, developers of large scale projects are now reportedly being told the subsidy taps will be switched off at the end of December.

 

The latest subsidy decision from Beijing could come as a shock to the utility scale solar sector.

Reuters has reported the Chinese Ministry of Finance has confirmed no subsidies will be made available for large scale solar projects next year.

A report published on the news wire yesterday claimed ministry officials had said the RMB3 billion ($427 million) subsidy pile set aside for solar this year will be cut to RMB2.63 billion next year, and will only be available to small scale and poverty alleviation projects.

If accurate, that would mark a significant step back from the 18-month transition period envisaged for the switch to grid parity solar in the consultation draft of the Work plan for the construction of subsidized (grid parity) projects for wind and solar PV document which emerged from talks between renewables industry insiders and government officials in Beijing in April.

Developing renewable energy in Vietnam Through the lens of equality and sustainability

While Vietnam is facing many challenges in producing electricity, renewable energy is emerging as the tipping point for advancing development that is inclusive and sustainable in the country. Babeth Ngoc Han Lefur, country director, Oxfam in Vietnam delves into this issue.

As climate change is progressing at an even greater pace than expected by various climate modelling scenarios, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is urging countries to take robust action to cut down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the average global temperature increase to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030. In September 2019, people in more than 150 countries were stepping up to support young climate strikers and demand an end to the age of fossil fuels and ensure a rapid, equitable energy revolution. The climate crisis will not wait, so neither should we. The 25th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2019 calls for action and champions to demand more ambition from nations to fight the climate crisis. This is also an invitation to elevate care for the environment into a national theme where all have a role to play.

Chủ đầu tư dự án điện mặt trời đi đâu, về đâu?

Chỉ có 2 dự án điện mặt trời đủ điều kiện vận hành thương mại từ sau ngày 30/6/2019 tới nay, giảm mạnh so với khoảng 80 dự án vận hành ồ ạt trong 3 tháng trước đó.
.
 Việc mua thiết bị cho dự án điện mặt trời khó khăn vì tiền đâu mà trả khi đa phần các chủ đầu tư chỉ có khoảng 30% vốn chủ sở hữu..

Chủ đầu tư “ngồi trên lửa”

Phát biểu tại Tuần lễ Lưới điện thông minh đang diễn ra tại Hà Nội, đại diện Trung tâm Điều độ Hệ thống điện Quốc gia (A0) cho biết, từ sau ngày 30/6/2019 tới nay, chỉ có 2 dự án điện mặt trời hoàn tất điều kiện vận hành thương mại (COD) là Nhà máy Hacom Solar (40,3 MW) và Solar Park 01 (40 MW).

So với hơn 4.000 MW điện mặt trời được đưa vào hệ thống từ tháng 4 đến hết tháng 6/2019, đã có sự chững lại trong việc triển khai các dự án điện mặt trời. Theo nhiều nhà đầu tư, lý do là chưa có giá mua điện mặt trời mới cho thời điểm sau ngày 1/7/2019. Tiếp tục đọc “Chủ đầu tư dự án điện mặt trời đi đâu, về đâu?” →

Vietnam’s PM decides to do away with solar FiTs in favor of auctions

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Get ready for auctions! After months of confusion and uncertainty over the policy for solar power development in Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc today issued his conclusions and looks to have signed the death knell for solar feed in tariffs (FiT) in favor of competitive auctions.

In Notification No. 402/TB-VPCP dated 22 November 2019, the Prime Minster concluded that rational future development of the sector necessitates introducing an auction system for ground-mounted solar projects. FiTs will continue to apply only for rooftop solar projects and certain already-approved ground-mounted projects.

HCM CITY — The central province of Ninh Thuận has seen a boom in renewable energy projects, especially solar power, but power transmission lines in the province have failed to handle the capacity, experts have said.

A number of solar and wind projects in the province have been developed after preferential incentives on prices for renewable power were issued, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Many renewable energy projects, however, cannot operate at full capacity.

Vietnam is rising as Southeast Asia’s new wind hero, with power capacity soon to dwarf that of all other Asean nations and the world’s biggest offshore wind farm to be built off its windy coast, but challenges remain.

Các con đập hủy hoại Mê Kông như thế nào?

Khi người Trung Quốc đến làng Lat Thahae – ngôi làng tọa lạc trên một khúc cong đục ngầu của một nhánh sông Mê Kông, họ vẽ nguệch ngoạc mấy chữ tiếng Trung lên các bức tường nhà cửa, trường học và chùa chiền.

Một gia đình sống trôi nổi trên sông Mê Kông ở Campuchia vào tháng 12, gần khu vực con đập được đề xuất. Các quan chức và công ty Trung Quốc hy vọng rằng việc xây dựng các đập mới trong khu vực sẽ bù đắp cho sự tăng trưởng chậm lại ở quê nhà. (Ảnh: Sergey Ponomarev/The New York Times).
Không ai trong ngôi làng biệt lập ở miền bắc Lào này hiểu những chữ đó có nghĩa là gì. Nhưng chữ có nghĩa là “phá bỏ” ấy ảnh hưởng đến số phận của hàng trăm cộng đồng dọc theo dòng sông lớn châu Á.

Wind energy could cover more than one third of global power needs in 2050 reducing global carbon emissions by a quarter, new IRENA report finds

IRENA_Future of Wind_press release.jpg

Beijing, China, 21 October 2019 – Asia could grow its share of installed capacity for onshore wind from 230 Gigawatt (GW) in 2018 to over 2600 GW by 2050, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) finds. By that time, the region would become a global leader in wind, accounting for more than 50 per cent of all onshore and over 60 per cent of all offshore wind capacity installed globally.
