Sunita Dubey and Hyunjung Lee share how Vietnam is leveraging Battery Energy Storage Systems to stabilize their grid and accelerate the energy transition.
While it is not Vietnam's first megawatt-scale stationary BESS project to date, the companies involved claimed it is the first such project to leverage third-party investment in battery storage to reduce electricity costs for a private customer. Resort operator VinPearl will pay no upfront cost for the equipment Marubeni owns.
Battery technology Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant type of rechargeable batteries used for BESS projects, including those currently in operation in Vietnam.
Vietnam began implementing BESS systems from 2019. However, due to the lack of a complete set of policies and regulations for BESS development, most BESS systems in Vietnam are after-the-meter systems and are generally small (<100 kW), installed in homes with rooftop solar panels.
Despite these advances, Vietnam''s storage market remains in its early stages. Most projects are pilots, limited by high upfront costs, unclear tariffs, and the absence of recognised
