Solutions to Establish Ninh Thuan as A Renewable Energy Centre in Vietnam

Tóm tắt

Ninh Thuan Province has the lowest annual rainfall in Vietnam with a short rainy season, a high-temperature environment, high wind speeds and solar radiation, as well as high evaporation. This harsh climate has made it Vietnam’s most arid province. However, these unfavourable conditions have presented the province with a golden opportunity to develop renewable energy (also known as clean energy) sources. By leveraging the Government's policies on promoting this form of energy, Ninh Thuan is the leading locality in terms of the number of solar power projects nationwide, and it is in a position to become Vietnam’s largest renewable energy centre. However, the rapid growth of renewable energy projects in the province is also facing bottlenecks in the dismantling of some outmoded mechanisms such as the existing power transmission infrastructure, which cannot meet demand. To ensure the sustainable development of renewable energy projects in Ninh Thuan Province, together with national energy security, it is essential to put specific mechanisms and policies in place.
