Vietnam's FDI Firms Prefer Industrial Parks with Green Energy Infrastructure
A recent seminar in Ho Chi Minh City highlighted that approximately 80% of foreign direct investment (FDI) firms in Vietnam prefer industrial parks equipped with green energy infrastructure, as the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be enforced in 2025. By 2030, renewable electricity demand in these parks is projected to reach 25-30% of total industrial load, with businesses increasingly seeking clean power solutions and Energy Attribute Certificates for sustainability compliance. Vietnam currently has 428 industrial parks and aims to achieve significant growth in rooftop solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems capacity by 2030, despite facing regulatory challenges.

A seminar on 'Provincial Energy Strategies and Investment Frameworks for Industrial Parks in Vietnam' was held on December 23 in Ho Chi Minh City. The Vietnam Energy Association (VEA) reports that the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is fully enforced as of 2025 for key sectors.
Approximately 80% of foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises prioritize industrial parks with green energy infrastructure. By 2030, renewable electricity demand in these parks may reach 25-30% of total industrial load.
Businesses are pursuing clean power and Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) for sustainability compliance. Vietnam has 428 industrial parks and over 1,000 industrial clusters, with rooftop solar potential estimated at 20,000-25,000 MWp.
As of 2025, installed rooftop solar capacity in industrial parks exceeded 3,200 MWp. Vietnam aims for 10,000-16,300 MW of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) capacity by 2030, though regulatory challenges persist.
