90% of commercial buildings do not integrate renewable energy
About 80-90% of commercial and high-rise buildings in Vietnam do not integrate the use of renewable energy into basic design and operation.
This information was stated by the representative of the Vietnam urban energy security project (under the US Development Agency, USAID) at a meeting on the search for advanced distributed energy development projects and models, on the afternoon of December 12. /4.
Experts say that this is a big waste, putting pressure on the energy supply system. This problem is more serious when traffic congestion is still a dilemma causing increased pollution.

Mr. Nguyen Tuan Anh – Deputy Director of the Vietnam Urban Energy Security Project said that the integration of solar panels on the roofs of commercial buildings and high-rise buildings in urban areas in Vietnam is limited. by the function of the roof, mostly used for many different purposes.
However, according to him, it is possible to install solar panels on individual workshops and houses. As for the use of rechargeable batteries or electricity storage systems (BESS) to limit the reduction of solar energy capacity, Mr. Tuan Anh said, it is very necessary and needs to be widely deployed. The obstacle of this solution is the issue of investment costs and capital return.
This is also the reason why the USAID project selected a BESS pilot project in phase 1, to see how the capital can be recovered with conditions in Vietnam. “For this system to develop, Mr. Tuan Anh said that Vietnam needs to have mechanisms and solutions to develop auxiliary services for the power grid…”, he suggested.
According to Ms. Ella Hoxha, Director of the Vietnam Energy Security Project (under the US Development Agency, USAID), to ensure a sustainable future for Vietnamese cities, the development of urban energy solutions is essential. “Green” marketing is very important.
“Renewable energy and energy efficiency measures, if widely applied, have the potential to bring economic benefits as well as a healthier environment and improved quality of life for people. city”, Ms. Hoxha commented.
It is expected that about 20 new business pilot projects or financial models for distributed urban energy systems, in areas such as transportation, electricity efficiency in buildings, power generation, electricity and water supply and management… will be funded by USAID to develop in Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City.
