Depending on the MW size, solar energy projects in Vietnam must be included in either the National Energy Masterplan or the relevant Provincial Energy Masterplan. This is a notoriously opaque process and it is all but impossible to know for certain the status of discussions to include or not a given project. Investors need to be extremely pro-active and do their homework to make sure they are working on the right levers.
