What is Bess & why is it important in Vietnam?

BESS emerges as a critical enabler in Vietnam ‘s transition towards a future of energy efficiency, security, and sustainability. By storing surplus energy during low-demand hours and utilising it in times of high demand, BESS eliminates power shortages and blackouts, thus enhancing the reliability of the grid and reducing electricity costs.

Is Bess technology a viable option in Vietnam?

(Source: Nang luong Viet Nam Magazine.) Although BESS technology initially faces cost challenges, rapid global market expansion and advancements in battery technology are progressively making it more viable. Vietnam has acknowledged the potential of BESS and has articulated plans for its extensive integration into the national grid.

How can Bess help Vietnam achieve energy transition objectives?

Beyond grid stabilization, BESS plays a pivotal role in advancing Vietnam’s energy transition objectives. By effectively managing energy supply and demand, BESS contributes significantly to achieving targets for renewable energy adoption and diminishing reliance on fossil fuels.

What is Bess & how does it work?

By storing surplus energy during low-demand hours and utilising it in times of high demand, BESS eliminates power shortages and blackouts, thus enhancing the reliability of the grid and reducing electricity costs. Improved grid stability also implies a reduction in the variability of renewables, facilitating their integration into the grid.

Can Bess be integrated into Vietnam's power grid?

In an effort to facilitate the integration of BESS into Vietnam’s power grid, the Electricity and Renewable Energy Authority (EREA) of the Ministry of Industry and Trade recently hosted a technical workshop in collaboration with GEAPP.

What is the Bess project?

The pilot BESS project aims to create an ecosystem that supports the development of robust infrastructure, the introduction of policy reforms, and collaboration important for a smooth transition to clean energy sources.
