The Vietnamese government is developing a new auction system to select solar power project investors and set electricity prices after 2021. A draft decision outlines plans to organize bidding processes every two years based on renewable energy development plans. Notable points include investor eligibility requirements, power purchase agreements lasting 20 years, project delay penalties, and bid security equal to 0.5% of total investment. The auction system aims to quickly develop renewable energy like solar to address power shortages, with a target of 40GW of solar capacity by 2045.

New Regulation for Indonesia's PV Policy
Indonesia’s solar photovoltaic ('PV') industry has welcomed the long-awaited Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources ('ESDM') Regulation No. 19 of 2016 (the 'Regulation'), which introduces a new first-come, first-served ('FCFS') capacity quota offering process following the revocation of ESDM Regulation No. 17 of 2013 (the 'Original Regulation') by the Supreme Court.
Under the Regulation, PLN must deliver a revised model PPA to ESDM through EBTKE (defined below) by 24 August 2016, which will comprise an extendable 20-year term from the commercial operation date. Feed-in tariffs ('FiTs'), including power transmission line connections fees, will be established under the FCFS process and paid in Indonesian Rupiah using JISDOR.
Not entirely clear cut, local content requirements appear to be defined by reference to existing Ministry of Industry regulations for electricity infrastructure. This is in contrast to the Original Regulation, which contemplated that olar developers and investors ('SDIs') do not necessarily need to comply. For communal or centralised solar power plants (which is undefined), the existing regulations require 43.85% local content for combined goods and services. Failure to meet these requirements may result in FiT reductions or other penalties.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

VIETNAM – SOLAR POWER AUCTION SYSTEM: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW
1. VIETNAM – SOLAR POWER AUCTION SYSTEM: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW
In late January 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (“MOIT”) issued the draft Decision of the
Prime Minister guiding the selection of investors implementing solar power projects under the bidding
mechanism (“the Draft”). Since the latest Decision 13/2020/QD-TTg applies to grid-connected projects
with Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) by 31 December 2020 latest, it is expected that the Draft
will soon be finalized and become effective so solar energy developers as well as relevant government
authorities can have guidelines for projects with COD from 2021. As of July 2021, it is reported that a
newer version of the Draft is being prepared by the MOIT and will soon be published for public
comments. MOIT is directing its Electricity and Renewable Energy Department to coordinate with
international agencies including the World Bank and Asian Development Bank to develop the bidding
mechanism for renewable energy development that is expected to apply after 2021
According to the Draft, the Decision would be applicable to projects with grids connected directly to
the national power network. The Ministry of Industry and Trade shall coordinate with the Electricity of
Vietnam and the People's Committees of localities to organize the formulation and approval of the
renewable energy power source development plan for a period of 5 years and every 2 years to serve as
a basis for the bidding system. In addition, every 02 years, the Ministry of Industry and Trade shall
issue a Price Framework for electricity generation in order to determine the ceiling price for bidding to
select investors of solar power projects with COD in the next 02 years.
The plan for development of renewable energy power sources for a period of 5 years shall include the
total capacity scale for each renewable energy power source in the 5-year period, the total capacity scale
for each renewable energy power source for each load region (8 regions) and a list of transmission lines
and substations (220 kV at least) to be put into operation for a period of 5 years. The 02-year plan shall
have similar content but for a 2-year period only and shall be more provincial specific.
Some notable points in the Draft
Selection of investors to implement solar power projects is conducted either by (i) Bidding to select
investors according to project location or (ii) Investor approval. Bidding for projects or for project
development areas will be implemented if at least 02 independent investors participate.
Requirements for Investors participating in bidding:
a) Investors must be independent legally financially independent from each other;
b) The investor is not named in two or more Technical Proposals as an independent investor or as a
member of a consortium;
c) Investors do not have shares or contributed capital of more than 20% of each other when participating
in the pilot program; and
d) An investor (or a member company of the investor) does not share a controlling shareholder (holding
26% of the shares of the enterprise) with any other Investor (or a member company of this investor).
Applicable solar power purchase price is the price for the connection point proposed by the winning
bidder/investor in the bidding dossier (excluding value added tax).
Adjustment to investment schedule: if the investor is permitted to adjust the investment schedule and
the project’s COD occurs after the commitment date stated in the bidding documents, the applicable
electricity price of project is the electricity selling price specified in point (1) with a cumulative
reduction rate of 4% for every 90 days of schedule delay. Project delay time must not exceed 12 months.
Bidding guarantee: Investors must apply the bid security measure, which is equal to 0.5% of the total
project invesment, before the bid is closed.
2. The standard power purchase agreement issued alongside as part of the Decision must be used in
transactions between Power Seller and Power Buyer being EVN or an entity authorized by EVN. The
power purchase agreement is valid for 20 years from commercial operation date.
Costs associated with the investor selection process are to be borne by the local Provincial Committee
or another legal funding source and to be accounted for as part of the project’s total investment capital.
Expenses related to the preparation of Bids (including technical proposals and financial proposals) are
the responsibility of the investor.
Bidding procedure: Within 6 months since the Ministry of Industry and Trade approved the Solar
Power Development Plan for a 2-year period, the Provincial People's Committees shall organize the
formulation, approval and completion of the implementation of the Plan for selecting investors to
develop solar power projects locally every 2 years.
The plan for selecting investors of a solar power project must be publicly announced on the National
Bidding Network System, serving as a basis for determining the number of investors and investment
projects registered to participate. The content of information to be disclosed include investor selection
plan, solar power investment project, time limit for receiving bids, contact information of the bid
organizer and competent state agencies.
The bidding organization applies the open bidding process according to the one-stage, two-envelope
bidding process. People's Committees of localities to publish the bidding dossiers. The investor submits
a Bid which includes Technical Proposal and Power Price Proposal. Bid opening will be conducted
twice, Technical Proposal will be opened right after the deadline for submission of bids, investors who
satisfy technical requirements will have their Power Price Proposals examined for evaluation.
Documents to be submitted by the Investor to participate in bidding:
· Decision of the competent authority approving the inclusion of the project into a power
development plan;
· Documents proving the investor's eligibility;
· Financial statements for the last 2 years, audited or certified by tax authorities, and other
documents proving the investor's independent financial accounting;
· Documents proving the investor's capacity and experience; and
· Documents proving the ability of the investor to raise investment capital.
Once the Draft comes into effect, the Feed-in tariff (FiT) mechanism will no longer apply to solar energy
projects. MOIT has proposed that the same strategy to be executed for wind power projects after 2023.
The employment of bidding method will enable for the selection of capable developers through
transparent procedures in order to eliminate projects that run behind schedule for years.
The Vietnam Government has continuously promote the development of renewable energy sources as
a feasible and effective solution to counter the country’s ongoing power shortage issue because
renewable energy projects can be constructed quickly and promptly for operation in the period of 2021-
2023, while taking advantage of the country's natural potential without relying on imported fuels and is
eco-friendly. By the end of 2020, the total solar power capacity (including floating solar energy systems)
put into operation was about 17 GW, concentrated in the southern provinces and the Central
Highlands. The Government plans to bring the total solar power capacity to about 40 GW by 2045.
