A battery energy storage system (BESS) will be retrofitted to a utility-scale solar PV power plant in Vietnam, in a pilot project aimed at supporting the spread of renewable energy in the country while reducing power losses.
Early standalone projects priced storage at around twelve cents per kilowatt-hour, but with blended finance and competitive bidding, costs dropped to between three and five cents.
Vietnam has set targets of 10,000–16,300 MW of battery storage by 2030 under its revised power plan, while formalizing BESS in law and working on tariffs, licensing, and

Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.
The largest electricity storage project in Vietnam is the Bac Ai Pumped Storage Hydropower Project. Located in Ninh Thuan province, the project has a capacity of 1,200 MW and is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing the grid when it completes in a few years.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by minimising the intermittency of renewables, enhancing grid flexibility, and ensuring reliable power supply. In a significant development, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) has secured approval for its first pilot BESS project with a capacity of 50 MW/50MWh.
EVN and ADB agreed to coordinate further efforts to elaborate the project for submission to relevant authorities and consequential commencement and financing arrangements. State-owned utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) have discussed investing in a pilot Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Vietnam.
In 2023, EVN PECC3 estimated that the cost for a 2 MWh BESS system was 360–420 USD/kWh, and that the investment would requires electricity prices in Vietnam above 18 UScent/kWh to be profitable – this is twice the current levels. However, BESS costs are declining rapidly.
EVN's 50 MW Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) pilot project, in collaboration with ADB and GEAPP, aims for 300 MW by 2030. Vietnam is the fastest-growing energy market in Asia, according to the International Trade Administration. The government anticipates a 10-12% annual surge through 2030 in the nation’s power consumption.
