Vietnam to consider direct power purchase agreement for renewable energy

HANOI (Bernama-Xinhua): Vietnam will consider a direct power purchase agreement (DPPA) mechanism between renewable power generators and large electricity users without going through its state utility EVN, reported Xinhua quoting local media on Friday.

If approved, the buying and selling of electricity would be conducted through a private transmission line invested by the private sector, local newspaper Vietnam News reported, citing the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
