6 FAQs about Vientiane tariffs on energy storage batteries

Does Vietnam have new feed-in tariffs for solar power?

April 2025 | Southeast Asia Impact Alliance Vietnam is taking another step toward modernizing its renewable energy sector by unveiling updated feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for solar power, with a notable emphasis on encouraging battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Could Vietnam replace fixed feed-in tariffs with standardized auctions?

As global costs for solar, wind, and battery storage systems fall, Vietnam could replace fixed feed-in tariffs (FiTs) with standardized competitive auctions to procure clean energy at the lowest cost.

How does tariff risk affect a battery energy storage system (BESS) project?

Mitigating tariff risk in battery energy storage system (BESS) projects is crucial for ensuring project financial viability, as tariff changes can significantly affect cost structures and overall project economics.

Will China impose tariffs on lithium-ion EV batteries?

An interesting issue will be the imposition of tariffs. There are existing tariffs pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on some Chinese-origin lithium-ion EV batteries and non-lithium-ion battery parts, which were increased to 25% in September 2024.

When will Chinese-origin lithium-ion non-EV batteries be taxed?

Tariffs on Chinese-origin lithium-ion non-EV batteries are scheduled to increase to 25% effective January 1, 2026. Otherwise, batteries of non-Chinese origin storage batteries have not been subject to multi-front targeted tariff or duty actions.

Why does northern Vietnam have higher feed-in tariffs?

While Northern Vietnam benefits from higher feed-in tariffs (FiTs) due to lower solar radiation, the overall system still operates on capped tariffs rather than market-based auctions. This may limit the agility of Vietnam's energy market in responding to investor needs and evolving technology costs.
