Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade and included in the plan but without policy basis have been recommended to be handed over to investigative agencies to clarify whether there are signs of irresponsibility leading to crimes and serious consequences.
The Government Regulatory Authority found numerous irregularities in the implementation of solar policy planning and consultation. On December 25, the
Vietnamese Government Supervision Bureau just released the inspection results of the investment management and construction of the No.7 power project according to the adjusted No.7 power plan, indicating that there is no policy basis for adding many large-scale solar power projects in the central and western regions and the western plateau areas. There are only 14
planned solar power projects. The survey results show that the Ministry of Industry and Trade has not yet prepared a national solar power development plan, and the provinces will not prepare provincial solar power plans until 2020. However, 168 solar power projects with a total capacity of 14,707 MW have been approved. Nearly 20 times higher than planned.
Among them, only 14 projects were approved in four local power plans before 2016, and 8 projects were approved in five provincial power plans. The remaining 92 projects, with a capacity of 3,194 MW, were approved in 23 provinces, with as many as 15 of the 23 provinces having no solar power planning. Therefore, the inspection body found that the Ministry of Industry and Trade had approved 92 projects with a total installed capacity of 3.194 MW without policy basis. The Ministry of
Industry and Trade has drastically curtailed plans for solar power generation. Amendment No.7 to the Power Plan proposes a plan to install 850 MW of solar power by 2020, but the Ministry of Industry and Trade has approved as many as 54 projects (with a capacity of 10,521 MW), all without policy basis.
Not to mention that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has approved the incorporation of solar power projects below 50 MW into provincial power planning, it is also without policy basis to suggest that the Prime Minister approve the incorporation of projects above 50 MW into the adjusted power planning7 without planning. To attract investment, it is necessary to establish the risk assessment of the offer mechanism.
It was also concluded that there were deficiencies and irregularities in the Ministry of Industry and Trade in providing advice on the incentive mechanism for solar power projects in Ninh Thuan Province, resulting in 14 projects enjoying preferential FIT price regulations of 9.35 cents/kWh for 20 years. The amount of electricity
that EVN will have to pay these investors over the next two and a half years has increased by VND 1,481 billion. MIIT also made recommendations on the conditions for applying the 7.09 cents/kWh FIT tariff to grid-connected solar power projects, which is inconsistent with the conclusion of the standing government.
At the same time, EVN also suggested that solar investment should not be encouraged at all costs and should be synchronized with transmission grid investment, but the inspection agency said that this suggestion was "not approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade". The wrong permits
were issued
locally, and the inspection team recommended that many cases be transferred to the investigation agencies for violations of laws and regulations in eight places found during the implementation of the project. In Long'an, the inspection body asked the provincial people's committee to examine and handle the responsibility of the organizations and individuals mentioned in the conclusion according to law. It is considered that the area of leased land exceeding the prescribed limit should be recovered. There are 13 solar and wind power projects
in Binh Thuan Province that have been invested in the national mineral reserve land, and the investors have been found to have irregularities and defects. As a result, the Government Inspectorate has handed over to the Security Bureau to investigate land management and use of mineral planning land in violation of the law for investment in solar power and wind power projects on the island.
In Binh Phuoc province, the Vietnamese government inspection Bureau concluded that there were irregularities in the use of forest land for the construction of the Lening 4 solar power plant, and that some projects had begun construction but had not yet been handed over to the construction site. Construction permit of Lening Solar Power Group. Some projects have been put into commercial operation, but they still enjoy preferential electricity prices without acceptance by Vietnamese state agencies, resulting in insufficient basis for electricity trading.
In Dak Lak Province, the investment policies of Xuan Thien-Ea Sup Solar Power Station Project, Long Thanh 1 Solar Power Project and BMT Solar Farm Project were approved, but the land use planning was not carried out as required. The EIA report of East Asia South Wind Power Project has not been approved; the wind power projects of Krong Buk 1, Krong Buk 2, Cu Ne 1 and Cu Ne 2 are inconsistent with the land use planning.
