Sunny days are over for Vietnam's solar power industry
Hanoi
SOLAR farm operators in Vietnam's second-largest province, Gia Lai, have threatened to sue the state power provider, Vietnam Electricity (EVN), after it told operators they must reduce the amount of power they generate by up to 70 per cent.
This comes on the back of a rapid increase in the amount of rooftop solar capacity in the country from just 794 mega-watt peak (MWp) in June 2020 to 9,296 MWp in December, a nearly 12-fold increase.
