Ninh told local media at a recent conference of the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) that Vietnam will cut 1.3 billion KWh of renewable energy in 2021.
According to EVN s statistics, national electricity output generated from solar power in 2020 was 10.6 billion kWh, including 1.15 billion kWh from rooftop solar power, accounting for about 4.3% of the total output from the national electricity system.
Ninh said in 2020, the regulating agency must reduce 365 million kWh of unexploited solar power due to overloads of local networks, mainly in central provinces like Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan.
