The Ministry of Industry and Trade in Vietnam has issued a new draft Circular establishing a pricing framework for future solar and wind power projects in the country. The Circular will apply a competitive bidding process to determine electricity generation prices within set price brackets, based on reasonable project costs and a target 12% internal rate of return. It also provides a new standard power purchase agreement template. The draft aims to bring clarity to renewable energy development and transactions by outlining pricing and contract terms and deadlines for projects to reach operation.
VIETNAM – MOIT IS REVIEWING NEW FEED IN TARIFFS (FiTs) FOR WIND POWER PROJECTSDr. Oliver Massmann
The Vietnamese government is reviewing new feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for wind power projects. Several provincial governments have proposed extending the current FiTs, which are set to expire in November 2021, due to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. The current FiTs pay VND 1,928/kWh for onshore wind and VND 2,223/kWh for offshore wind. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed extending the deadline to December 2023 and applying an auction system after that date. Extending the FiTs is important because wind power projects require over a year of feasibility studies and turbine imports have been delayed by the global pandemic.

VIETNAM - SOLAR POWER - UPDATE ON RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET IN VIETNAM (24 August 2018) and new Fit and rules for rooftop after 30th June 2019 - what you must know
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.
VIETNAM – POWER SECTOR - NEW FEED-IN-TARIFFS FOR WIND ENERGY PROJECTSDr. Oliver Massmann
The Prime Minister of Vietnam has approved new feed-in tariffs (FITs) for wind energy projects. The new FITs will increase the price from the current 7.8 US cents/kWh to 8.5 US cents/kWh for onshore wind projects and 9.8 US cents/kWh for offshore wind projects. These new FITs will apply to projects that achieve commercial operation by November 2021 and the prices will be guaranteed for 20 years. It is unclear if the new FITs will automatically apply to existing projects or if renegotiation of power purchase agreements will be required. After November 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will implement an auction mechanism to select new wind power projects and prices.
