Vietnam can leverage domestic solar manufacturing to meet domestic demand, implement direct power purchase agreements (DPPAs) enabling private renewable supplies, accelerate grid and battery storage infrastructure, and avoid costly LNG imports by prioritizing renewables.
Contrastingly, solar and wind power's lower capital requirements and faster development timelines are well-suited to meeting Vietnam's near-term energy needs. These projects can be implemented within months and with high certainty, unlike gas projects, which typically take four to five years to complete once financed.
