South Korean experts introduced renewable energy technologies to produce electricity for islands, remote areas, and high-rise buildings and to store electricity obtained at off-peak times. South Korea has committed to finance Vietnam 5 million USD to develop solar power in Ho Chi Minh City. 

Tran Viet Ngai, Chairman of the Vietnam Energy Association, said: “The central and the southern regions have abundant sunshine and wind which are potential for developing renewable energy projects. Building renewable power plants can save and reduce pressure on the thermal power plants and the national electric grid.”
