Could you point out for me truc tiep bong da tv good point of this solar PPA?
While truc tiep bong da tv previous draft solar PPA does not require truc tiep bong da tv Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) conversion between USD and VND be according to truc tiep bong da tv exchange rate at truc tiep bong da tv time of payment, this newly issued solar PPA repeats truc tiep bong da tv language in Decision No. 11/2017/QD-TTg (Decision 11) that truc tiep bong da tv FiT will be adjusted according to truc tiep bong da tv fluctuation in truc tiep bong da tv VND/USD exchange rate. This is consistent with what is stipulated in Decision 11.
In addition, I note that while truc tiep bong da tv FiT for power output from on-grid projects is adjusted according to truc tiep bong da tv fluctuation in truc tiep bong da tv VND/USD exchange rate, meaning at any time during truc tiep bong da tv year, it is not truc tiep bong da tv same for rooftop projects. Instead, truc tiep bong da tv mentioned FiT for excessive power output generated from rooftop projects remains truc tiep bong da tv same throughout truc tiep bong da tv first year of operation, and truc tiep bong da tv new FiT for truc tiep bong da tv next year will be adjusted based on truc tiep bong da tv announced VND/ USD exchange rate of truc tiep bong da tv last working day of truc tiep bong da tv previous year.
2. Are there any concerns of investors that truc tiep bong da tv solar PPA has not solved?

– when truc tiep bong da tv transmission grid or truc tiep bong da tv distribution grid connected to EVN’s grid has a problem or grid equipment directly connected to EVN’s transmission grid or truc tiep bong da tv distribution grid has a problem; and
– when EVN’s grid needs support to recover after truc tiep bong da tv incident in accordance with truc tiep bong da tv provisions of operation of truc tiep bong da tv national power system and truc tiep bong da tv standards, technical regulations of truc tiep bong da tv electric industry.
– allocation of feeding points into truc tiep bong da tv grid
It is quite risky for truc tiep bong da tv producer if truc tiep bong da tv output is ready to be fed to truc tiep bong da tv grid but truc tiep bong da tv connection is not available to do so. Absent a clear indication of whether truc tiep bong da tv Solar PPA is a ‘take or pay” agreement, investors will find it difficult to secure and ensure truc tiep bong da tv profits and revenue of their projects.
- No international arbitration dispute resolution clause

- In your opinion, how Vietnam government should do in order to reach their target for solar power capacity in truc tiep bong da tv coming to time?
There is an increasing interest of foreign investors in truc tiep bong da tv sector, proven by truc tiep bong da tv fact that there are many solar projects with total capacity of 10,000 MW registered with truc tiep bong da tv MOIT. However, not many of them have submitted truc tiep bong da tv pre-feasibility study to truc tiep bong da tv MOIT for consideration. There are many reasons behind this, but truc tiep bong da tv most important ones are truc tiep bong da tv lack of Government guarantee of EVN’s payment obligation in truc tiep bong da tv PPA and currency hedging. Thus, truc tiep bong da tv Government should consider a mechanism where EVN has to fulfil its payment obligation and truc tiep bong da tv investors are ensured that they will be able to remit their profits abroad in foreign currency.
