Faced with a growing demand for electricity and seeking to diversify its energy sources, Vietnam is stepping up its efforts to integrate solar power into its national grid. The national electricity company, Electricity Vietnam (EVN), has revealed a plan to buy surplus energy generated by solar panels installed on the roofs of homes and offices. This strategic move is part of the energy development plan approved by the government in May last year, which aims to fully exploit the country’s solar potential, estimated at 963 gigawatts (GW). Nevertheless, the government’s…
