Webinar #2
Vietnam’s Rooftop Solar Sector: Tools, Templates, and Lessons Learned
for Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers
May 21st, 2020 – 9:00AM to 10:45AM (ICT)
Hosted by: Clean Energy Investment Accelerator (CEIA) and
USAID Vietnam Low Emission Energy Program (V-LEEP)
Due to travel and meeting restrictions related to COVID-19, this webinar series is temporarily replacing the in-person Renewable Energy Buyers Vietnam Working Group normally held in Ho Chi Minh City on a quarterly basis.
This webinar is the second of four webinars to be hosted by CEIA and USAID V-LEEP in May 2020.
BACKGROUND
The Renewable Energy Buyers Vietnam Working Group is co-organized by the Clean Energy Investment Accelerator (CEIA) and the USAID Vietnam Low Emission Energy Program (V-LEEP). Since 2017, the Working Group has brought together commercial and industrial (C&I) energy users interested in procuring clean energy, renewable energy project developers and investors, and Government of Vietnam representatives.
The Working Group is a platform for corporate RE market stakeholders to collectively identify and work toward policy, regulatory and financing frameworks needed to meet clean energy goals in Vietnam.
This webinar, on May 21st, 2020, is an important opportunity to bring together market stakeholders focused on the procurement and contracting of rooftop solar solutions for C&I businesses in Vietnam.
