In the article “Vietnam’s renewable energy landscape post-new policy implementation”, Ms. Nguyen Yen Nhi, Paralegal of GV Lawyers will analyse the development roadmap of renewable energy in Vietnam to point out the trend of shifting from solar power to wind power, especially offshore wind power as a great potential to attract investment capital from domestic and foreign investors. However, the current Vietnamese law has not fully governed the development of offshore wind power projects.
