據7月9日Oil Monster消息：越南國家石油公司PetroVietnam正尋求涉足風力發電場和浮式太陽能電池板等可再生能源，因為該國大部分海上油田的國內原油產量已達到頂峰。

該公司表示，其目標是到2025年可再生能源發電能力達到100兆瓦，到2035年達到900兆瓦。

越南是亞洲增長最快的經濟體之一，由于需求超過新發電廠的建設，從2021年開始將不得不應對嚴重的電力短缺問題。

根據政府統計總局的數據，今年上半年越南原油產量同比下降13.9%，至496萬噸。

PetroVietnam稱，化石燃料正在萎縮，因此發展可再生能源是不可避免的。將首先在其部分水電站建造浮動太陽能電池板，并在現有燃煤電廠安裝屋頂太陽能電池板。

該公司補充說，隨后將尋求國內外投資者的投資，在全國范圍內發展太陽能、風力發電場和廢物發電廠。

根據工業部數據，越南風能和太陽能發電廠的總裝機容量在最近幾年已大幅上升至5500兆瓦。

越南表示，將在未來十年內將其發電能力提高一倍以上，達到1.25-1.3億千瓦，并將可再生能源的比重從目前的約10%提高到2030年的20%。

PetroVietnam to Invest in Renewables Amid Shrinking Crude Oil Production

Vietnam’s state oil firm PetroVietnam is seeking to venture into renewable energy sources like wind farms and floating solar panels, as domestic crude oil production has peaked at most of its offshore oil fields.

The company, formally known as Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, is targeting 100 megawatts (MW) of renewable capacity by 2025 and 900 MW by 2035, it told Reuters on Wednesday.

Vietnam, one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, will have to battle severe power shortages from 2021 as demand outstrips construction of new power plants.

It has been struggling to maintain its crude oil output as reserves run low, while tension in the South China Sea has affected its offshore exploration and exploitation activities.

Vietnam’s crude oil output in the first half of this year fell 13.9% from a year earlier to 4.96 million tonnes, according to the government’s General Statistics Office.

“Fossil fuels are shrinking and, therefore, developing renewable energy is inevitable,” PetroVietnam said in an email in response to Reuters questions.

PetroVietnam said it would initially build floating solar panels at some of its hydropower dams and install rooftop solar panels at its existing coal-fired power plants.

It will later seek investment from foreign and domestic investors to develop solar and wind farms and waste-to-power plants throughout the country, it added.

According to the Ministry of Industry, the total installed capacity of Vietnam’s wind and solar power plants has risen strongly over the recent years to 5,500 MW.

Vietnam said it will more than double its power generation capacity over the next decade to 125-130 gigawatts and raise the proportion of renewable energy to 20% by 2030, from the current of around 10%.
