Poland
Poland’s energy system has seen progress on energy transition, despite its reliance on domestic hard coal and lignite. For example, Poland has one of the fastest growing solar PV markets in the European Union and has also seen a strong uptake of heat pumps. Poland is pushing to become a major player in offshore wind, aiming for at least 3.4 GW of capacity by 2030. However, stronger efforts are needed across all sectors to accelerate energy transition and Poland would benefit from greater electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe.

National Power Development Planning VIII (2021 - 2030)
The National Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, sets out Vietnam’s strategy to transition its power system toward cleaner energy sources while ensuring energy security and meeting growing electricity demand. The plan aims to support Vietnam’s nationally determined contributions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, including a shift away from unabated coal toward lower-emissions and renewable energy.The plan includes substantial investment in both electricity generation and network infrastructure, with total power sector investment requirements exceeding USD 130 billion by 2030. It targets an increase in installed…

Decree No. 45/2001/ND-CP on electric power operation and use
In this decree, there are many new positive points suitable to electricity operation and use as follows:
* Diversification of investment forms; Apart from EVN (Electricity of Vietnam), organisations and inviduals who are Vietnamese or foreigners, if eligible, are allowed to make investments and develop power generation projects or use of power projects. In addition independent power generation systems can be connected to the national power grid if they have power purchase agreements (PPAs) with EVN.
* The electricity tariffs of entities who connect their power projects to the national power grid are stipulated by the Government as follows: if the company… -
Vehicle-to-grid technology
GEVO 2026 - Chapter 8 With the rollout of smart and bidirectional charging, EV owners can reduce charging costs and, in some cases, generate revenue by participating in grid services, such as frequency regulation. Load shifting and vehicle‑to‑grid (V2G) capabilities provide substantial electricity system benefits, helping reduce peak demand and potentially limiting the need for future grid investment – benefits for which EV owners can be compensated. Vehicle-to-grid charging holds the promise of alleviating grid constraints but barriers remain The rollout of EVs is a major driver of global electricity demand growth. Residential EV charging can draw more power than…
