The draft report says there will be big changes in Vietnam’s electricity generation structure: the proportion of coal-fired power sources will be gradually decreasing, while gas-fired and renewable power will be increasing. The proportion of hydraulic power will also decrease as nearly all potential has been exploited. … [Read more...] about Wind, solar power sees new boom

Solar energy storage system offers low-cost solution for Vietnam
Hanoi (VNA) - The Solar Storage System (ESS) offers a low-cost and low-emissions solution for peak-hour power supply, helping Vietnam pursue low emissions development and ensuring economic growth, according to an expert at a workshop held in Hanoi on January 27. Mark Leslie, Managing Director of the Green Investment Group at Macquarie Capital, said the solution helps integrate solar power into the grid. Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time, to reduce imbalances between demand and generation. According to a representative from the Blueleaf Energy company - an organiser of the workshop - the solar energy storage system allows the use of low-cost solar power at noon to charge and then discharge during peak hours to meet peak loads. Solar power sources are intermittent and fluctuate during the day, thus causing several issues for grid operation. The combination between the source and the energy storage system can lead to more stable … [Read more...] about Solar energy storage system offers low-cost solution for Vietnam
Ca Mau to set up protected forest area on Hon Khoai-Hon Chuoi islands
Hon Khoai Islands include Hon Khoai, Hon Sao, Hon Doi Moi, Hon Tuong and Hon Da Le islands. The islands are over 5 million square metres and belong to Tan An Commune, Ngoc Hien District. Hon Chuoi Islands are nearly 760,000 square metres in Song Doc Town, Tran Van Thoi District. Nearly 5.4 million square metres of the islands are forest. Ca Mau People's Committee will set up a historical, cultural, tourist site and conserved forest. The site will be set up in order to protect and sustainably develop the forest and the genetic resources on the islands as well as in the sea. Another aim is to control the invasion of harmful non-native species and ensure green coverage in Hon Khoai and Hon Chuoi islands as well as the historic constructions for further tourism development. The local authorities were asked to implement measures to deal with climate change and natural disasters, improving the living conditions for everyone living on the islands including better transportation, … [Read more...] about Ca Mau to set up protected forest area on Hon Khoai-Hon Chuoi islands
Electricity dispatch centre asks for better infrastructure
Hanoi (VNA) - The National Load Dispatch Center (A0) has asked Vietnam Electricity (EVN) to equip it with better infrastructure for the operation of a future wholesale and retail electricity market with more renewable energy resources. According to a representative of the centre, wind and solar power plants have been put into operation on a large scale but data on their scale and generating capacity is not yet accurate. The representative added that rooftop solar power, with a capacity of up to 9,583 MWp, was affecting the load chart, making it tough to plan the power system operation as well as the market, especially due to the limitations of the transmission grid, particularly the 500kV / 220kV grid in the north. The centre also said the operation processes of the hydroelectric plants with a capacity of more than 30 MW had shortcomings to fit with electricity market regulations. As the future infrastructure will convert the transaction cycle from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, while … [Read more...] about Electricity dispatch centre asks for better infrastructure
