According to an announcement from the Office of the Government on May 17 about Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha’s conclusion at a meeting on implementing the government leader’s conclusion relating to negotiations over electricity selling prices from wind and solar power projects that have been built but not been put into commercial operations, the Deputy Prime Minister has urged relevant ministries and agencies to speed up the granting of operational licenses for wind and solar power projects that have been built.
A number of wind and solar power projects have been built and put into operation, making an important contribution to the country’s goals of ensuring energy security and socio-economic development, the Deputy Prime Minister said.
In order to reach targets in sustainable development, the government has taken measures to boost national energy transition, including adopting policies to encourage investment in and the development of renewable energy, he said.
However, some renewable energy projects have been built but not put into operation, which is wasteful, he said.
