With a strong focus on rooftop solar and energy storage, this year’s edition reflects growing momentum and international interests in Vietnam’s renewable energy landscape. RECCESSARY brings you insights from the ground.
Vietnam’s energy storage sector on the rise: Growing interest across home and C&I solutions
Executive Director Paul Clark of the event organizer Terrapinn described the current period as a pivotal moment in Vietnam’s energy transition. He emphasized how the market is energized by emerging commercial opportunities, but also noted that collaboration across stakeholders will be essential to deliver affordable, reliable clean energy in line with the country’s energy goals.
One of the biggest draws at the event was BYD’s showcase of its latest Sealion 6 plug-in hybrid SUV. While best known for its dominance in the EV market, BYD is also actively expanding into Southeast Asia’s energy storage sector. According to booth representatives, Vietnam’s growing demand positions it as a key market for both residential and C&I storage solutions.
