Abstract

Key Messages
• Vietnam’s electricity demand annual growth has been more than 12% in recent years, leading to rising coal imports.
• Vietnam has been transformed from a food-insecure nation to a world-leading food exporter.
• Vietnam has thousands of water bodies, used for agriculture/aquaculture offering excellent surfaces for deploying Floating Photovoltaic (FPVs) farms.
• FPVs could significantly contribute to the energy sector in Vietnam by supplying clean electricity that could also be used for modernizing/mechanizing agriculture/aquaculture practices.
• FPV faces some socio-technical barriers including regulatory ambiguity that could hamper expansion of this technology.
