On June 28th and 29th First View Group hosted the online, annual Vietnam Solar Week.

Energy Partners expects that many Power Generators and Off-takers will be
dismayed at the changes but given our experience we are fully confident that top-tier
projects are still feasible under both model 1 (from 2019) and model 2 (from
2022).
Given that the Power Development Plan 8 also seems to be close to being finalized (needing to remove many LNG projects) there is optimism that the DPPA could soon be launched and thereby offer the opportunity for 100% clean energy to private off-takers in Vietnam
Thank
