RSP systems installed on houses’ rooftops in Son La.

According to EVNNPC, as of March 31, 2026, 4,622 customers in 17 provinces and cities in Northern Vietnam had installed RSP systems for self-production and self-consumption, with a total capacity of 611.1MW. Of these, an additional 2,201 customers installed RSP systems in the first quarter of this year, with a total capacity of over 141.5MW.

Power companies in provinces such as Phu Tho, Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Tuyen Quang, and Lao Cai have implemented and surpassed the targets set by the Corporation in terms of capacity.

Power companies have implemented the plan well and surpassed the targets set by the Corporation regarding the number of customers in provinces such as Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho, Nghe An, Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang, Hung Yen, Ha Tinh, etc.

To achieve this result, EVNNPC has directed its affiliated power companies to strengthen communication and coordinate with local authorities and relevant departments to raise awareness among people and businesses about the RSP development. The corporation has also assigned specific plans to each unit for 2026 and subsequent years, creating a basis for monitoring and promoting implementation progress.

Along with public awareness campaigns, EVNNPC fully publicizes regulations from the Ministry of Industry and Trade and EVN on its website, fanpage, and at customer service offices; it also issues unified guidelines on procedures, flowcharts, and forms from the notification stage to connection acceptance and system commissioning. Power units also proactively simplify procedures, coordinate on-site surveys, advise on appropriate installation capacity, ensure safe connections, avoid grid overload, and optimize investment efficiency for customers.

Notably, EVNNPC has directed its member companies to pioneer the installation of RSP systems at 183 unit headquarters, with a total capacity of approximately 7.1MWp. This is a practical approach to reducing electricity consumption from the grid, while also creating a model to spread the use of clean energy to customers.

Effectiveness from practice

Currently, along with installing RSP systems, many households and businesses have invested in battery storage systems to maximize the use of power generated during the day for use at night or during power outages. This model helps to improve the proactive, stable, and efficient use of power in daily life as well as in production and business.

Based on real-world models, it can be seen that saving electricity and developing RSP systems are gradually becoming concrete choices for many households and businesses, rather than just general policy directions.

This transformation needs to be further promoted through appropriate mechanisms, transparent guidance, and active customer participation. When local power sources are efficiently utilized, coupled with rational power consumption habits, the power system will have more room for stable, flexible, and sustainable operation.
