Tiếng ViệtClean Energy Investment in Vietnam – From Project Concept to Commercial Operation
The energy transition has become a strategic priority for Vietnam, tied to its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. Fast-growing industrial power demand, together with multinationals’ push to green their supply chains, is creating major opportunities for clean energy investment in Vietnam. Onward helps investors and companies seize these opportunities in a structured, compliant and cost-effective way.
The renewable energy market in Vietnam
Power Development Plan VIII sets out to sharply increase the share of renewable energy in Vietnam’s power mix, prioritizing offshore wind, onshore wind, self-consumption solar and storage. The direct power purchase agreement (DPPA) mechanism lets manufacturers buy renewable power directly from project developers, helping them meet ESG criteria and the emissions targets of international customers.
Key segments today:
- Rooftop solar for self-consumption at factories, warehouses and industrial parks.
- Wind power: onshore, nearshore and offshore.
- Battery energy storage systems (BESS) to stabilize the grid and shave peak loads.
- EV charging stations and energy infrastructure for green transport.
- Biomass, waste-to-energy and green hydrogen at the research and pilot stage.
Onward’s energy services
1. Energy project development and clean energy infrastructure advisory
Onward supports projects from site screening and resource assessment to grid connection studies, pre-feasibility reports and financial models. For manufacturers, we design rooftop solar plus storage solutions that cut electricity costs and emissions.
2. Connections with technical partners and equipment suppliers
A successful energy project depends heavily on the quality of panels, inverters, turbines, batteries and the EPC contractor. Onward connects investors with reputable technical consultants, EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers, and helps compare quotes and assess supplier capability.
3. Energy-sector legal and permitting support
Energy projects need many approvals: investment policy approval, environmental impact assessment, grid connection agreement, construction permit, electricity operation license and power purchase agreement. Onward prepares the dossiers, tracks progress and works with the authorities so permits do not hold the project back.
Logistics for energy projects – the NASA Group advantage
Energy equipment is often oversized and heavy cargo, such as wind turbine blades, transformers and battery storage containers. Through NASA Group’s logistics ecosystem, Onward can plan project cargo transport, bonded storage, customs clearance and delivery to site in step with the installation schedule.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Should a factory install rooftop solar? For factories with high daytime power use and roofs that can bear the load, self-consumption solar often cuts electricity bills and emissions significantly.
What is a DPPA? A mechanism that lets large power users buy renewable electricity directly from generators, either through a private line or through the national grid.
Does Onward handle oversized and heavy equipment transport? Yes, through NASA Group’s logistics ecosystem.
