The Ho Chi Minh City government is considering expanding its direct power purchase mechanism to include liquefied natural gas (LNG) power generators and customers in various industrial zones. This proposal, submitted to the city's People's Council, aims to broaden the entities eligible for direct power purchases (DPPA) via private connection grids.
The expansion would allow LNG thermal power plants and businesses located in industrial parks, economic zones, and high-tech zones to participate in DPPA, thereby addressing the demand from businesses seeking direct electricity from renewable energy sources. However, the city's proposal is limited to private connection grids, excluding participation through the national grid, targeting consumers with smaller consumption volumes.
