Event Description

Earlier this week, the Vietnamese government issued Decision No. 13 on FiT 2 Solar Power. This decision has taken over one year and has gone through many revisions since first being circulated for comment in January 2019. What are the new tariff rates for floating and ground-mounted solar projects? What are the implications for rooftop solar? What special provisions were included in the final decision? Find out the answers to these and other questions at an AmCham video conference on April 16.
