Khanh Hoa province has 6 solar power projects: Song Giang; KN Cam Lam; Tuan An; Central Power; Trung Son; Cam Lam VN.
Many large enterprises are investors, with projects already transferred.
With the above statistics, the number of new projects only accounts for nearly half of the total number of 154 renewable energy projects mentioned in the Government Inspectorate's conclusion. Most of the projects have been put into operation.
Many of these projects are from big names in the renewable energy sector, such as some projects of member companies of Bamboo Capital Group; Thanh Thanh Cong Group; Ha Do Group; Xuan Thien Group, Trung Nam Company, BIM Renewable Energy Joint Stock Company...
There are even projects that have been transferred to foreign investors, causing controversy in the past, such as some Loc Ninh solar power plant projects of Hung Hai Group that were transferred to Thailand's Super Energy Group.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade said that these projects encountered difficulties and problems mainly related to the auction of land use rights; starting the project without land lease; the project was recognized as COD, operating without acceptance, and without a document approving the acceptance results.
There are projects that violate regulations on starting construction works, building on land planned for national mineral reserves, typically in Binh Thuan; changing the purpose of land use when leasing land for 50 years for the purpose of building energy projects is without legal basis. There are projects that have not been approved by the Provincial People's Committee for land lease but occupy land to build factories; starting projects without a construction permit...
In this report, the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to take measures to handle issues related to planning supplements and completing regulations on land and construction. However, for violations related to the preferential price mechanism (FIT price), the Ministry said that it is necessary to continue reviewing enterprises on the basis that any unit that is not eligible for FIT price will recover the money from selling electricity through electricity purchase and sale compensation.
Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , some solar power investors said that the effort to remove difficulties for businesses is very meaningful. However, with the removal mechanism requiring units that have come into operation but do not meet the conditions to have their FIT prices revoked, it may affect investment efficiency, financial plans and bring many consequences for businesses and capital providers.
