The Government Office has just issued Notice No. 387 concluding the work of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on the development and promulgation of a decree regulating mechanisms and policies to encourage the development of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power.
Minimize procedural processes
Accordingly, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to complete the concept of "self-production, self-consumption" for rooftop solar power. Add the rate of selling surplus electricity to clarify the content of self-production, self-consumption solar power.
The purpose is to serve the on-site consumption needs of people and businesses. In case of surplus electricity sold to the grid, the amount of electricity must not exceed 20% of the total capacity.
There are appropriate policies to encourage the use of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power in the direction of minimizing administrative processes and procedures.
In case of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power with an installed capacity of over 100kW to under 1MW and choosing to connect and sell surplus electricity to the national power system, it is necessary to register with the local power unit to connect to the remote control system.
For organizations and individuals with an installed capacity of 1MW or more that are connected and registered to sell surplus electricity to the national power system, they must register their business according to the provisions of law.
For households, agencies and offices when selling surplus electricity to the national grid, the management agency needs to have regulations on acceptance of the metering system and remote metering data collection, on-site monitoring and control system and information connection with the collection, monitoring and control system of the distribution dispatch level.
At the same time, research on management, monitoring and control solutions in the form of digital conversion for rooftop solar power sources when the load is not in use on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays to ensure safety in operating the power system.
Open room to increase capacity for rooftop solar power?
The Deputy Prime Minister requested research, more technical and clearer measures, and strict control over rooftop solar power production businesses that produce and consume solar power for sale to the national grid and transmit it outside the production area to ensure safety in the operation of the power system.
Regarding storage batteries, in the case of investing in rooftop solar power for use with an installed power storage system, it is possible to purchase 100% of the surplus power capacity and research is being done to allow purchasing electricity at the price at each time.
The Deputy Prime Minister assigned relevant ministries and branches to study and increase the capacity of rooftop solar power (currently, the Northern region only mobilizes about 2.5% while the mobilization capacity to ensure the safety of the transmission system is up to 25-30%).
Therefore, it is necessary to immediately adjust the capacity scale for the North to up to 7,000 MW and recalculate the mobilization capacity for the Ho Chi Minh City area, and submit it to the Prime Minister in September 2024.
Please give your opinion on selling excess electricity to the grid not exceeding 20%
On that basis, complete the draft decree regulating the mechanism and policies to encourage the development of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power, submit it to the Government before August 22, 2024, and take responsibility for the content, and seek opinions from Government members on the content.
Specifically, please give your opinion on the case where the surplus electricity sold to the grid does not exceed 20% of the total capacity.
Based on the technical and technological capabilities, the power transmission grid system's capabilities, and the development needs of power sources participating in direct electricity trading, promptly report to the Prime Minister for consideration and decision on adjusting the power planning according to the provisions of the planning law.
