Shake-up for solar power investment

Baker McKenzie’s managing partner Frederick Burke and special counsel Nguyen Thanh Hai The contents of the decision circulated on January 21 is in draft form, while final contents are subject to further reviews by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), and consultations with other relevant ministries before the prime minister’s final signature. This draft decision would apply the selection mechanism on a long-term basis. Bidding rounds will be conducted based on a so-called Renewable Energy Development Plan formulated by the MoIT for each 5-year period. A more specific plan will be circulated on a biannual basis. The main investor selection mechanism is a so-called “competitive selection of investors based on project location”, which means that: (i) project location will be chosen/determined by the governmental authorities; and (ii) investors must submit bids to compete for securing the project development right at that pre-selected project location. Under this draft decision, the bidding mechanism would be conducted at the local level by provincial-level people’s committees, rather than by the MoIT at nationwide level. As regards power sale/purchase price, the current draft provides that the ceiling price will be subject to a specific pricing framework, which will be prepared and issued by the MoIT on a biannual basis. In addition, the draft decision proposes detailed regulations on eligibility requirements for investors participating in this mechanism, bidding procedures and requirements for selected investors. Notably, it also makes a reference to a model power purchase agreement (PPA) template, but as the full text of such template has yet to be completed, it remains uncertain as to whether there would be any or significant improvements to the risk allocation and bankability of this proposed template for new renewable energy projects under this reverse auction mechanism. The prime minister’s draft decision includes a bidding …
