Vietnam issues a decree on direct power purchase agreements

Vietnam has issued a decree on Direct Power Purchase Agreements–or DPPAs– clearing the way for businesses to buy power directly from power generators. The decree has been a long time coming and has been touted as a critical component to developing Vietnam’s electricity network.

Per the decree, high volume power users will negotiate directly with power generators on supply and price. They will then be able to transfer power either through private lines or through the public grid. On the latter, agreements will need to include a payment for using public infrastructure to the state power provider EVN.
