Rooftops in Ho Chi Minh City are capable of producing up to 5,081 MWp of electricity, in addition to high local consumption demand, without having to invest in building additional transmission grids.
The Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City recently issued a report to advise the City People’s Committee to propose that the Government promulgate a specific mechanism to develop on-site power generation sources. In particular, we focus on developing rooftop solar power, also known as rooftop solar power, to provide for a very large load in the city.
The report said: Ho Chi Minh City has an average number of sunny hours in a month ranging from 100 – 300 hours, continuously throughout the year, without interruption like in the North. The amount of radiation is large, an average of about 1,581 kWh/m2/year, the highest is 6.3 kWh/m2/day.
Ho Chi Minh City proposed that the Government apply the electricity purchasing mechanism at FIT prices, and the rooftop solar power investment implementation mechanism will continue to be applied according to the provisions of Decision No. 11/2017/QD-TTg and Decision No. 11/2017/QD-TTg and Decision No. Decision No. 13/2020/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister; Allows Ho Chi Minh City to use the roofs of administrative agencies and public service units in the area to install rooftop solar power systems for self-use and sale of excess electricity (if any). for the electricity industry.
The report also emphasizes that the development of solar energy systems also has social and environmental significance because it promotes the development of clean, green energy, contributing to reducing the greenhouse effect, reducing CO2 emissions and Reduce heat radiation to buildings. In addition, it ensures energy security and sustainable development of the city and is consistent with the policy of developing clean and renewable energy sources. At the same time, not only does it help people and businesses reduce monthly electricity costs because electricity is produced and used directly during peak hours, reducing high electricity purchase prices, but it can also increase income and effectively prevent heat. effective for projects, especially in suburban rural areas.
