HANOI, Feb 20 (Vietnam News/ANN) — The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has had a change of heart on the bidding mechanism for solar power tariffs in Việt Nam.

In the middle of last month, the ministry was still studying a bidding plan for solar projects in the country. However, it now says using a bidding mechanism for solar power tariffs could have negative impacts.

In the letter sent on Tuesday, it said: “Investors of the projects that have been granted investment certificates have spent a lot of time and money on planning, site clearance, preparations for construction and technical design evaluation. Not getting a PPA is an unwanted issue,” adding the previous regulation would slow down a project of those without a PPA.MoIT said 36 projects nationwide, with a total capacity of 2,989 MW, have received investment certificates before November 23, 2019.

According to the report, there could be 25,000 jobs in project development, services, operations and maintenance created annually through 2030 and another 20,000 in manufacturing.
