HANOI: Vietnam is revising its energy plans to focus more on large solar farms and less on reliance on coal and natural gas. It went from having barely any generation in 2018 to a quarter of its total installed capacity being solar – a 100-fold increase in two years. This rapid growth is mainly down to the Vietnamese government's feed-in tariff which provides a. . Vietnamese authorities are looking to retroactively revise purchase prices for 173 solar and wind projects, reducing revenues by 25% to 46%, risking bankruptcies across the renewable energy sector, and jeopardizing investor confidence needed to meet the government's 2030 targets of 73 gigawatts. . Vietnam's amendment to the National Power Development Plan VIII (Decision 768/QD-TTg) to 2030, reaffirms its commitment to renewable energy and positions Vietnam as a regional frontrunner in the global energy transition. A lecturer in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering at RMIT Vietnam, Dr. . With the global spotlight on renewable energy, China and Vietnam – two dynamic neighboring economies in Asia – have been forging strong ties in the realm of new energy.

China achieved a new milestone in its energy transition, with wind and solar power together generating a quarter (26%) of the country's electricity in April 2025, the highest monthly share on record, according to the latest data from global energy think tank Ember. China is the largest market in the world for both photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal energy. Its PV capacity crossed 1,000 gigawatts (one terawatt, 1 TW) in May 2025. [1]. . Global solar installations are breaking records again in 2025. In H1 2025, the world added 380 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity – a staggering 64% jump compared to the same period in 2024, when 232 GW came online. Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their competitive edge. China is installing more renewables than any other economy, but that rollout is not without its challenges.

China has become a global leader in the development of concentrating solar thermal power (CSP), taking advantage of state support, localized supply chains, and integration within hybrid renewable energy bases. By mid-2025, China's installed CSP capacity reached 1. 14 GW, with a pipeline exceeding 8. . In South Africa, the long-delayed 100 MW Redstone project came online in 2024. In 2024, there was little commercial CSP activity outside of China. is set to become the lead market for CSP. . Article 25 of the Energy Law of the People's Republic of China, which came into effect on January 1, 2025, stipulates that "Actively develop Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) ", laying a solid legal foundation for the sustainable development of the sector. A CSP plant usually consists of a solar collection system, a. . The 1-million-kilowatt integrated concentrated solar-thermal power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) energy demonstration project in Hami, in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has commenced power generation and connected to the State Grid, a spokesperson from the Northwest Electric. . China has reportedly developed the world's first dual-tower solar thermal plant near Guazhou County in Gansu Province to enhance efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The plant will use solar heat instead of coal to convert water to high-pressure steam, which is used to rotate turbines. .
