Accordingly, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development, the Government has been implementing necessary solutions to transform the national energy, including policies to encourage investment and development of renewable energy. Recently, many wind and solar power plants have been invested in and put into use, supplementing important power sources to contribute to the goal of ensuring national energy security and developing the country's socio-economy.
However, during the implementation process, it was found that many projects had been invested in by enterprises but had not been put into use, causing waste of social resources.
To promptly remedy this situation, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to urgently amend and supplement Circular No. 15/2022/TT-BCT dated October 3, 2022, Decision No. 21/QD-BCT dated January 7, 2023 in accordance with the correct procedures and regulations. During the period when there are no specific regulations on pricing methods, price negotiations and specific guidance documents on methods of calculating and negotiating electricity prices for wind power and solar power. In addition, study additional similar price calculation options for BT transport projects: audit and agree on acceptable profit levels, ensuring investment motivation for businesses.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade directed agencies to speed up the progress of granting electricity operation licenses for completed projects.
For projects that have completed investment and construction work and completed legal documents according to regulations, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will urgently issue a document before May 20, 2023 directing EVN to negotiate with investors at a temporary price and operate electricity generation on the grid. After negotiations are completed and the price is agreed upon, payment will be made according to the official price from the date of transmission to the grid.
For projects that are not yet qualified for operation and still have legal procedures, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and localities where there are transitional power projects must urgently guide businesses to complete the required procedures and documents.
For transitional projects that have completed investment procedures and are included in the adjusted Power Plan VII but have expired, the Ministry of Industry and Trade shall issue documents guiding enterprises and localities where the projects are located to comply with the provisions of the law on planning, Resolution No. 61/2022/QH15 dated June 16, 2022 of the National Assembly and other relevant regulations.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment is assigned to urgently issue a document before May 25, 2023 to guide the People's Committees of provinces and cities to review and decide on adjusting investment policies for transitional projects with implementation periods exceeding 24 months compared to the time limit specified in the first Investment Policy Approval Certificate in accordance with regulations.
