Lawyer in Vietnam Oliver Massmann Solar Power Latest Updates on Draft

Laws:

We have contacted the Department of Renewable Energy under the MOIT who is in charge of

drafting this Decision. The Decision is still in a draft version (although it has been submitted to

the Prime Minister for signature), thus can't be published yet.

The final Decision will be issued this year but the exact timing is still uncertain.

Through our consultation with an official of the Department about the content of the Decision,

for on-grid solar projects, the FIT rate will be 11.2 UScents/ kWh.

For on-grid rooftop solar projects, the rate will be 18 UScents/ kWh.

The rate in VND will be indicated in the final Decision based on the USD/VND exchange rate at

that time and the MOIT will issue an Official Letter every year to adjust the rate in VND

according to the fluctuation in the exchange rate.

Rooftop solar projects of less than 50kW will not have to connect to the grid. For those of more

than 50kW, connection to the grid is required and an electricity operating permit must be

obtained.

Please do not hesitate to contacts Oliver Massmann under omassmann@duanemorris.com if you

have any questions on the above. Oliver Massmann is the General Director of Duane Morris

Vietnam.

Thank you !
