BERLIN (Vietnam News/ANN): Vietnam will soon lead Southeast Asia in renewable energy development, Germany’s Energiezukunft news outlet highlighted in a recent article, describing the country’s energy transition as very impressive.
Vetnam is experiencing a solar boom, with 11.6GW of power of this kind added to the national grid last year, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.
