Some rooftop solar projects were forced to cut output by up to 80%. Power demand during the holidays from 10-16 February dropped by 27% from the previous week, according to Vietnam Electricity (EVN). At around noon, when demand is typically low, solar power production peaks, which was why EVN had to order solar farms to cut production, energy officials said at a recent forum. EVN chairman Duong Quang Thanh explained: "Solar power producers often tell me that if authorities keep cutting their output, they will not earn enough to pay bank debts. "For EVN, power shortages cause a headache, but oversupply makes us even more stressed." Last year authorities resorted to cutting solar power by a total of 365mn kilowatt hours after grids in the central provinces of Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan were overloaded. Foreign-invested capital on the rise A series of large-scale foreign-invested projects worth hundreds of millions of US dollars are flocking to Vietnam, promising a bright outlook in attracting this type of capital inflow this year. While not yet reaching the dizzy heights of the US$4bn Bac Lieu LNG-gas-to-power project welcomed into the country a year ago from the United States, Vietnam continues to see a wave of billion-dollar ventures converge within the early months of the year despite the ongoing pandemic complexities worldwide. Foxconn Singapore is considering three locations offered by Thanh Hoa People’s Committee to develop a US$1.3bn project to produce electronic parts for Apple. The locations include Nghi Son Economic Zone, an industrial park in the west of the north-central province, and another one in Thieu Hoa district. Once complete, the plant will generate 100,000-150,000 jobs and generate US$10bn in export revenue per year. According to Do Minh Tuan, Chairman of Thanh Hoa People’s Committee, the investor is waiting for the opinions of the parent companies overseas before issuing a final decision. Foxconn representatives in recent times have visited Thanh Hoa on several occasions in order to work with the provincial leadership to promote investment activities. Korean investors join Metro Line 5 In a letter sent to the Management Authority for Urban Railways of Ho Chi Minh City (MAUR) and Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Soun-young Chung, general manager of Kexim Bank's Global Business Cooperation Division said that the bank will soon finance the pre-feasibility study. The project will transform from official development assistance (ODA) to the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The study is implemented on three specific aspects: engineering, financing, and legality. Members of the research team and participating investors have extensive experience in the construction and operation of urban railway lines, including Metro Line 9 of Seoul, Korea, built under the PPP model. On January 19, the MAUR worked with a group of investors and consulting companies from Korea. The group consists of Kexim Bank, Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd., Lotte Corporation, Samil PwC (finance consultant), Dohwa Engineering (engineering consultant), Sejong Corporation, and Shearman & Sterling (legal advisory), among others.
