Vietnam energy transition
Vietnam’s direct power purchase agreement decree could catalyze a new era for renewable energy
On 3 July 2024, the Government of Vietnam issued its long-awaited decree permitting direct power purchase agreements (DPPAs) for renewable energy between private project developers and private energy consumers. An extraordinary feature of the decree grants permission for entirely privately developed, owned, and operated transmission lines. This provision could allow the development of large-scale solar or wind farms at remote sites to supply industrial consumers directly. This landmark legislation could ignite a new wave of rapid renewable energy development in Vietnam.
