Vietnam PM urges rapid technology mastery in renewable energy development

Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính asked the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) to accelerate technology transfer for wind turbine and blade production by 2026, ultimately achieving full technology mastery for offshore wind energy development.

Noting that Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation's (PTSC) total offshore wind energy contract value has amounted to approximately US$2 billion, securing employment through 2029, he said the milestone underscored Petrovietnam's transformation into an energy corporation that extends beyond traditional oil and gas development to encompass the renewable energy sector such as wind power and offshore electricity generation.

1,000 Islands: rural electrification through renewable energy

Outside the islands of Java and Bali, and particularly in the less developed eastern regions of Indonesia, many people still have no access to electricity. The “1000 Islands” programme utilises small hydropower plants and solar mini-grids to contribute to environmentally sound and climate-friendly energy supply and thus to social and economic development in remote regions of Indonesia.

Solar D banks on robotic panel installer

Thailand's first robotic solar installer is expected to increase domestic demand for rooftop solar panels and promises a significant increase in revenue for developer Solar D Corporation, a solar power solution provider and the distributor of the Tesla Powerwall energy storage system.

The new solar panel installation robot, reportedly the first of its kind in the country, will help drive revenue in 2025, with estimated year-on-year growth of 33% to 2 billion baht, said Sumrit Sitthiwaranuwong, chief executive of Solar D.

The robot uses "LightSpeed" technology developed by the company's R&D team, setting up rooftop solar panels 10 times faster than manual work, he said.

Usually solar panels with power generation capacity of 1 megawatt require 60 days for manual installation, but with the LightSpeed technology, the work is finished in only six days.
