According to Vietnamese media reports, Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh said recently that the previously set photovoltaic power generation target for 2031-2045 was "too high" and should be appropriately lowered to make room for wind power generation.
In late February this year, Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to set the country's installed power capacity at 146,000 megawatts from now until 2030, which is 9,000 megawatts less than the plan announced in November last year. The ministry also said that by 2045, Vietnam plans to have 352,000 megawatts of installed capacity, of which photovoltaics will account for 25 percent.
According to data from the Electric Power Company of Vietnam (EVN), as of 2021, Vietnam has ranked among the "Top 10 Global Photovoltaic Power Generation", reaching 16,504 MW, accounting for 2.3 percent of the world's total.
Rapò a te deklare tou ke plan an jeneral pou devlopman elektrisite nan Vyetnam te ale nan kat jij nan revizyon depi premye bouyon an te soumèt pa Ministè a endistri ak komès Vyetnamyen nan mwa mas ane pase a, ak pousyè tè a pa te rete ankò. Nan sans sa a, Ministè endistri ak komès nan Vyetnam te mande otorite ki pi wo yo ranvwaye tan an aplikasyon espesifik nan plan an nan dezyèm sezon an nan ane sa a.
The same plan says that by 2045, renewable energy will account for 70 percent to 75 percent of Vietnam's national electricity capacity. At the 2021 UN climate change conference, Vietnam pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Direktè Vyetnam Elektrisite ak Enèji Renouvlab Administrasyon an, Huang Thien Dung, te di tou dènyèman ke Vyetnam pral akselere tranzisyon an soti nan konbistib fosil nan enèji pwòp ak renouvlab. Tran Van Dong, Adjwen Minis Syans ak Teknoloji nan Vyetnam, fè remake ke Vyetnam gen gwo potansyèl pou devlopman enèji renouvlab, ak apeprè 217 GW nan pouvwa van sou rivaj, apeprè 160 GW nan pouvwa van lanmè, ak sou 434 GW nan jenerasyon enèji fotovoltaik. .
Dapre dènye bouyon plan an mèt devlopman pouvwa a, pa 2045, fèm van lanmè nan Vyetnam yo pral lokalize sitou nan nò ak sid peyi a, ak kapasite enstale ogmante pa 36 gigawatt, kontablite pou 10.8 pousan nan jenerasyon pouvwa total.
Matthews Holland, senior manager at the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), said Vietnam's offshore wind power efficiency could exceed 50 percent, rivaling that of hydropower. According to GWEC estimates, Vietnam's initial investment for the first 4-5 GW offshore wind farms is up to US12 billion, but subsequent operating costs can be greatly reduced. The cost of generating electricity per 1,000 kWh of offshore wind in Vietnam is expected to be around US83, which will further drop to US58 by 2025.
Holland te di tou ke Vyetnam gen yon litoral long nan 3,260 kilomèt, osi byen ke nivo lanmè ki ba ak gwo vitès van (7 a 10 mèt pou chak segonn nan yon wotè 100 mèt), ak kondisyon natirèl yo pou devlopman nan pouvwa van lanmè yo se. inik.
However, the United Nations Development Programme reminded the Vietnamese side that the latter should also pay attention to how to use new energy more effectively. Currently, Vietnam's unit energy consumption (the amount of energy required to produce 1 unit of GDP) is 1.5 to 1.7 times that of other countries in the region. That is, if Vietnam wants to be carbon neutral, it needs to cut manufacturing emissions in half. Moreover, with the increase of power generation, how to transmit and distribute safely, efficiently and energy-savingly is also a priority for Vietnam to be solved urgently.
