the workshop.
The event saw the participation of
representatives from the Vietnam Clean Energy Association, Luong Son district’s
power units, Vietnamese and foreign companies, and 17 firms operating at the
IP.
Electricity demand surges when hot weather
begins, resulting in frequent power shortages and outages. In addition, as
COVID-19 has been brought under control, economic activities to boost recovery
poses a challenge to ensuring sufficient power supply.
Given the supply in the northern region
faces difficulties while promoting renewable energy development is targeted so
as to avoid shortages, rooftop solar power is viewed as a solution to such
problems.
The move is in line with the Party and
State’s policy on promoting renewable energy development and Vietnam’s
commitment made at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties
(COP26).
At the workshop, delegates exchanged
viewpoints on the new policy for sustainable renewable energy development in
the future. They also put forward rooftop solar power development solutions at
Luong Son IP, stating that chances have come for the IP to shift to the work in
a bid to reduce GHG emissions, protect the environment, and avoid power
shortages at factories in the IP, towards the Government’s goal of achieving
net zero emissions by 2050.
At the end of the event, two firms signed
agreements to purchase electricity from Duc Anh Energy./.
According to data from the Hoa Binh Provincial Party Committee, the industrial production index for the first six months of 2025 is estimated to have increased by 20% compared to the same period last year. This marks the highest year-on-year growth rate for this period since 2020.
In the first six months of 2025, Hoa Binh province’s export turnover was estimated at 1.145 billion USD, marking an 18.11% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Import turnover was estimated at $ 804 million, a 17.15% increase, which helped the province maintain a positive trade balance.
The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.
With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.
In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.
Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
