Under the light (pun intended) of the long-awaited Power Development Plan (PDP), it crossed my mind that both developers and rooftop owners are in a certain state of “spiritual limbo” created by the uncertainty of the reactions, comments and interpretations that may/will arise from it. In a market where 6,000 new MWp x year are[...]
The energy transition is larger and quicker in Indonesia. During COP26, Indonesia Government commits to retire 5.5 GW of the coal plant and add an additional 4.7 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Leaders in Jakarta have outlined a goal of reaching 23% renewable energy by 2025. One of the initiatives to implement this goal[...]
Rooftop solar has a distinguished place in the energy market, and the benefits that this technology offers are hard to ignore, especially for manufacturers and large facilities. These include cutting down electricity bills, minimizing impacts on the environment, and many more. Best of all, adopters of rooftop solar can enjoy all these benefits using an[...]
This article is a part of Ms. Clothilde Deneve’s series of works for Sustainable Vietnam. Ms. Deneve currently works as Shire Oak International’s Sales Director.

This article is a part of Ms. Clothilde Deneve’s series of works for Sustainable Vietnam. Ms. Deneve currently works as Shire Oak International’s Sales Director. One of the main questions that come to mind when people are getting introduced to solar energy (or any other kind of Renewable Energy) is usually – how sustainable is[...]
Over the last decade, solar energy has been on a steep rise, shooting from a consumption level of 88 TWh in 2010 to 17,943 TWh in 2019. This progress is only natural as the proven benefits are being widely recognized. In fact, it is not just solar energy – all other forms of renewable energy[...]
Historically, tourism has been the backbone of the Vietnamese economy, accounting for around one-third of the country’s total gross domestic product. An estimated 85 million travellers visited Vietnam in 2019, with total revenue from both international and domestic tourists hitting VND 726 trillion (US $31.4 billion), which was up 17.1% compared to 2020.

Solar energy has been one of the most useful means to fight against climate change. Solar power systems are cost-effective at all scales, and this versatility is possible thanks to the modular design of solar panels. They can be on the ground, floating, or the roof for better space-saving. However, while solar power’s presence is[...]
Rising air pollution is creating a public health crisis in Vietnam that is already claiming the lives of 71,300 Vietnamese every year. The country’s capital city, Hanoi, is the second most polluted city in South East Asia, with an average daily air quality of 40.8 micrograms of pollutant particles per cubic meter of air –[...]
The effect that global warming is having on our planet and its inhabitants is, after decades of speculation, becoming clear to see. The world is now more than 1 degree warmer than it was in 1880, before humans began to burn fossil fuel for energy. And this increase isn’t a strange, random fluke, either, with[...]
