Since renewable energy sources often are located far from the demand centres, the underdeveloped transmission and distribution grids in the region hamper the development of renewable energy sources of electricity. In Viet Nam, a lack of grid upgrades and unclear technical regulations for grid connections have particularly hindered wind power deployment under the FIT system (Wind Power Monthly, 2015). In addition to discouraging investments in new projects, the lack of grid connections also affects renewable energy plants that have already been developed and increases the risk of stranded assets.
