If Vietnam continues to develop solar and wind power but does not invest in energy storage systems in time, will tens of billions of dollars in renewable energy investment be at risk of being wasted due to overload and capacity cuts?
Over the past decade, Vietnam has become one of the fastest growing renewable energy countries in Southeast Asia. Dozens of GW of solar and wind power have been put into operation, contributing to significantly changing the structure of the national power source.
However, behind that impressive growth lies a huge challenge. Renewable energy is highly volatile, depending on the weather and time of day. This makes the national electricity system need a "buffer" strong enough to maintain stability.
According to energy experts, the future of Vietnam's electricity system will depend on three strategic pillars
✅ BESS energy storage battery system
✅ Digitalization of the electricity industry
✅ Modernize the power transmission and distribution grid
BESS IS BECOMING THE HEART OF THE FUTURE POWER SYSTEM
BESS is a battery storage systemLarge-scale energy storage, capable of storing electricity in times of surplus and regenerating electricity when demand increases.
Instead of letting solar power be cut off at noon or wind power wasted during low load times, BESS will store this electricity for use at times of need.
Role of BESS
Function Benefits
Renewable electricity storage Reduces waste of electricity
Load balancing Reduce system pressure
Frequency and pressure regulation Increase grid stability
Emergency backup Increase energy security
Natural disaster assistance Maintain power for hospitals and essential infrastructure
ELECTRICITY PLAN VIII SET VERY AMBITIOUS GOALS
According to the revised Power Plan VIII, Vietnam aims to develop from 10 GW to 16.3 GW of battery storage capacity by 2030.
BESS development goals
Scale Criteria
BESS grid-connected first phase 1.2 GW
Total BESS capacity in 2030 10 - 16.3 GW
The goal is to support wind power, solar power, and system stability
This number shows that Vietnam is preparing to enter the largest energy storage investment period in the history of the electricity industry.
THE FUTURE POWER GRID IS NOT JUST BATTERIES
Experts from the Global Energy Alliance GEA and the United Nations Development Program UNDP believe that battery storageOnly maximizes efficiency when combined with digitalization of the power grid.
One of the most talked about technologies today is Digital Twin or digital twin.
This technology allows the creation of digital models that simulate the entire electrical system in real time, helping
Device monitoring
Incident prediction
Optimize operations
Reduce maintenance costs
Improve system reliability
IT'S NOT JUST ELECTRICITY, THIS IS ALSO HUMAN SECURITY
A notable point is that solar power projects combined with BESS are being deployed at public health facilities.
The goal is not only to provide electricity but also to ensure essential services in the event of a natural disaster or widespread power outage.
Expected social impact
Scale Criteria
Direct beneficiaries About 2,800 people
Indirect beneficiaries About 64,000 people
Priority areas Health, natural disaster response, vulnerable communities
This shows that energy transition is no longer simply a technical story but has become a comprehensive socio-economic development strategy.
A MILLION-BILLION USD MARKET IS BEING FORMED
To achieve the target of 10 to 16.3 GW BESS by 2030, Vietnam will need huge investment capital.
Experts say that three factors determine successincluding
✔️ Complete the legal corridor
✔️ Develop a price mechanism for electricity storage services
✔️ Transparent revenue from power system support services
If implemented successfully, Vietnam can form an energy storage market worth hundreds of trillions of VND in the next decade.
VIETNAM IS STANDING IN FRONT OF A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY
In the context that ASEAN aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 45% by 2030 and the region is expected to contribute 25% of global energy demand growth by 2035, Vietnam has the opportunity to become the clean energy center of Southeast Asia.
However, success will not lie in the number of solar or wind power projects built, but in the ability to connect energy storage, digitize and modernize the power grid into a unified ecosystem.
If we can do that, Vietnam will not only ensure national energy security but also create a foundation for sustainable economic growth for decades to come.
