Sustainability should have been done with flexible regulations like one such as this.

Yesterday, the Government of Ukraine made significant strides towards the development of distributed generation with the adoption of three pivotal decisions: 1. **National Renewable Energy Action Plan for the period up to 2030:** The approval of this plan sets ambitious goals for renewable energy development. By 2030, the plan aims to increase the share of renewable energy sources in various sectors, such as heating and cooling systems, electricity generation, and the transport sector. 2. **Annual quota for renewable energy auctions:** A total quota of 110 MW was approved, including allocations for Solar Power Plants (SPPs), Wind Power Plants (WPPs), and other sources like biomass and biogas. The auctions will take place in October-November 2024, with the aim of providing long-term state support to participants. 3. **Terms and conditions for holding tenders:** New terms were approved for the construction of generating facilities and demand-side management measures. The total capacity of the tender is set at 700 MW, with specific requirements for facility capacity, commissioning dates, and purchase prices per MW. These decisions mark a significant step towards a sustainable energy future for Ukraine. Stay tuned for further updates on these developments.

Decree on Direct Power Purchase Agreement On 3 July, the Government of Vietnam issued Decree No. 80/2024/NĐ-CP on Direct Power Purchase Agreements (DPPA), enabling direct electricity transactions between renewable energy producers with at least 10MW capacity and large electricity consumers averaging over 200,000 kWh per month. The decree introduces two models for transactions: Physical DPPA, which enables direct power sales through private connection lines, and Virtual DPPA, which uses forward contracts facilitated by the national grid operated by Vietnam Electricity (EVN). This decree aims to advance a competitive power market in Vietnam, addressing power shortage concerns among foreign investors and manufacturers. It offers opportunities for renewable energy adoption, including solar, wind, small hydropower, biomass, rooftop solar, and storage systems. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has established a task force to oversee the Decree’s implementation and manage potential challenges, e.g., pressure on the national grid’s resilience due to increased integration of renewable energy sources.

DPPA decree signed: a major step forward for green growth in Vietnam Vietnam is taking significant strides toward a greener future with the signing of the Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) decree on Wednesday, 3 July. This landmark policy allows large electricity consumers to purchase renewable energy directly from a variety of producers, including solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, geothermal, and even ocean wave systems. This approach opens up new avenues for clean energy growth, fostering a more diversified and dynamic energy market. https://lnkd.in/gkKdsfjC

Germany has achieved a new record high, raising its renewable energy share to 58% of its electricity consumption in the first half of 2024 with wind, solar, biomass and hydropower. In fact, 24% of the 58% came from onshore wind generation, according to the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW).

🗞️ Obstacles in renewable energy to be removed #vietnam 👉 Due to delays 85 renewable energy projects with a total capacity exceeding 4,730 MW will not qualify for preferential pricing mechanisms by the end of 2021 in response, the government will hold a conference on Saturday 19/10/2024, to tackle the challenges and obstacles facing these projects. 💥 in 2018 the national power supply network had only eight renewable energy projects including wind, solar & biomass totaling 414MW Now there are 256 projects including rooftop solar with over 22,000 MW installed accounting for about 27.5 % of the total capacity promoting renewable energy is vital for environmental protection climate change adapt and economic growth in several localities. 💫 while renewable energy projects have shown positive results some shortcomings have emerged the government inspectorate has identified planning and investment violations in certain projects therefore authorities are addressing these issues while also working to remove obstacles and facilitate project operations. 🤝 The Ministry of Industry and Trade has worked with EVN to issue a circular on electricity pricing and develop a transition mechanism. However effective solutions to the challenges facing renewable energy are still lacking making a coordinated approach from state agencies.

BREAKING NEWS — Vietnam: The long-awaited mechanism for corporate power purchase agreements has now been formally issued! New Regulation: - The Vietnamese government has introduced a decree enabling the direct sale of rooftop solar power and other renewable energy sources, bypassing the state utility, Electricity of Vietnam (EVN). 🔌 Mechanism: - The DPPA mechanism facilitates direct transactions between renewable energy producers and large electricity consumers. - Two pathways are outlined: via private transmission lines and the national grid. Private Transmission Lines: - Eligible renewable energy sources include solar, wind, small hydro, biomass, geothermal, wave, tidal, marine current energy, and rooftop solar systems. - Projects must be licensed or exempt under specific regulations. National Grid: - For direct sales through the national grid, projects must have a capacity above 10 MW. - The decree specifies transactions via the spot market and sales through EVN, with market prices determined by wholesale market dynamics. Purchaser Requirements: - Organizations and individuals using power for production at 22 kV or higher and consuming at least 200,000 kWh per month can participate. - This threshold is lower than the previous draft, which required a minimum of 500,000 kWh. Stoked to see such progress! Credits to Phu Nguyen for sharing this

Alena Georgobiani, Associate Director at Montfort Eurasia, provides an overview of the dynamic renewable energy landscape in Central Asia. Georgobiani discusses the ambitious energy goals set by countries like Kazakhstan, which aims for 50% of its energy to come from renewable sources by 2050, and the rapid development of hydro, solar, and biofuel projects across the region. Learn how Uzbekistan is making strides in solar energy due to its abundant sunshine, while Kyrgyzstan focuses on hydroelectric power. Georgobiani also highlights the potential of wind and biofuel as emerging components of the region’s energy mix. Discover how these countries are navigating the “race” to meet their renewable energy production and consumption goals and what the future holds for Central Asia’s energy sector.
