Addressing the meeting, the Government chief tasked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to submit the draft decree to the Government for consideration and approval next week.

The promulgation of the decree aims to promote solar potential in Viet Nam which has been in the leading position in solar power development in the ASEAN region.

Viet Nam's total technical potential for solar power is up to 1,646GW. Its solar power sector grew strongly with a new capacity estimated at 17.6 GW in 2021.

Currently, the largest solar project in Viet Nam, and indeed Southeast Asia, is the 600MW Dau Tieng Solar Power Complex, located in Tay Ninh province, 100km away from southern Ho Chi Minh City. The project started commercial operation and began delivering power to EVN.

In addition, in the central Ninh Thuan Province, the epicenter of Vietnam's solar energy boom, the Trung Nam Group, a Vietnamese conglomerate, has also constructed a solar farm, one of the largest in Southeast Asia./.
