Vietnam battery storage webinar

How can a battery energy storage system improve Vietnam's grid stability?

During the workshop, a report titled “ Enhancing Vietnam’s Grid Stability with BESS,” co-authored by the Institute of Energy (IE) and GEAPP, was launched. Scaling battery energy storage systems is critical in ensuring a steady supply of renewable energy for the communities that need it most.

Can solar energy storage be commercially viable in Vietnam?

The purpose of the pilot project is to demonstrate the commercial viability of energy storage in Vietnam, a country which has rapidly adopted solar PV in the past few years, but is yet to start doing the same for batteries, or other forms of energy storage technology.

Will Vietnam achieve 300 MW of Bess by 2030?

Vietnam’s Power Development Plan VIII (PDPVIII) aims to achieve 300 MW of BESS by 2030. While BESS is relatively new in Vietnam, many countries have already adopted this technology due to its benefits, which include peak shifting, frequency and load management, renewable energy integration, black start capabilities, and transmission deferral.

How can Bess help Vietnam achieve net-zero COP26?

BESS can play a crucial role in helping Vietnam fulfil the net-zero commitment it made at COP26 and can support sustainable growth and create green jobs in the country while helping avoid the need to increase electricity tariffs for communities and businesses.
