On March 28, the Minister of Industry and Trade issued document No. 3/BCT-DTDL, sent to the National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment; Ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and agencies under the Government; People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities; Central Committee of Vietnam Fatherland Front; Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry; Relevant socio-political organizations and associations; Relevant agencies, organizations, businesses... on asking for opinions on the Electricity Law project (amended).
In the draft, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has added Chapter III (Renewable energy and new energy electricity development) to include regulations on: Renewable energy and new energy electricity development policy (Article 23); Development of renewable energy electricity (Article 24) Renewable energy electricity for self-use and self-consumption (Article 25); Offshore wind power development (Article 26) Management and operation of renewable energy and new energy (Article 27).
The content of this chapter has been newly added to institutionalize the Party's policies and guidelines and the Government's Resolution on renewable energy and new energy development.
According to the draft content, the renewable energy power project includes a power generation plant, transformer station and connection lines.
Encourage investment in renewable energy sources combined with electricity storage. Renewable energy projects with new investments, expansions, and renovations are allowed to combine different types of renewable energy power sources to increase electricity generation output, but the power generation capacity into the national power system must not exceed the allowed capacity. approved during the planning stage.
Prioritize the development of renewable energy projects in arid lands or difficult to develop agriculture according to the assessment of the Provincial People's Committee. The land use coefficient of a solar power plant does not exceed 0,7 ha/01 MW by 2030, 0,5 ha/01 MW after 2030. The land use coefficient of a land-based wind power plant does not exceed exceeds 0,35 ha/01 MW.
Renewable energy power projects, after being put into operation, can replace equipment with parameters different from the currently operating specifications but must ensure that the power generation capacity into the national power system does not exceed exceeding the capacity recorded in the electricity operating license or electricity purchase contract.
Notably, in this draft, the Ministry of Industry and Trade includes the Red River Delta and the Southeast region as areas allowed to develop self-produced and self-consumed renewable energy electricity.
Self-produced and self-consumed renewable energy power projects with capacity included in the national electricity development plan or plan to implement the national electricity development plan and linked to the national electricity system are permitted. the right to generate or not generate surplus electricity, if any.
In case an organization or individual chooses to generate excess electricity output into the national electricity system, the state records that electricity output at a price of 0 VND.
Encourage organizations and individuals to combine self-produced renewable energy with investment, installation, and operation of electricity storage systems to be proactive in production and business activities and ensure system stability. electrical system.
The Government regulates in detail the procedures for developing and accounting for surplus electricity output of self-consumed renewable energy power projects.
