Deputy Prime Minister Trần Hồng Hà has requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to accelerate the process of issuing electricity licences for wind and solar power projects that have been completed but have not yet been put into operation.
The Government Office recently issued a Notice on Deputy PM Hà’s conclusion at a meeting related to the negotiations of electricity prices for these projects.
The document stated that to achieve the goal of sustainable development, the Government has been implementing solutions for the national energy transition, including policies to encourage investment in renewable energy development.
Many wind and solar power plants, which have been invested in and put into operation, have supplemented an important power source to ensure national energy security and boost socio-economic development. However, many others have not been put into use, causing a waste of social resources.
