In a document dated October 22 from the Government Office, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng ordered provinces and cities to issue cash support policies for households installing self-use rooftop solar before December 31, calling it an urgent measure to ensure sufficient power in 2027. Battery storage systems (BESS) are encouraged alongside rooftop solar to reduce grid demand during peak hours of 17:30–22:30 daily except Sundays, and installations are to be promoted at offices, production facilities and industrial zones. As of mid-September, only Bắc Ninh and Lai Châu had issued household support policies; Bắc Ninh offers up to 1 million VND per kWp, capped at 3 million VND per household. The Ministry of Industry and Trade must assign rooftop solar targets to localities, especially in the north, before October 30, and as of end-July the country had 130,811 rooftop solar systems with total capacity above 11,200 MW.

- Vietnam leads Southeast Asia in renewable energy investment inflows
According to BloombergNEF, renewable energy investment in Vietnam reached about $4.2 billion in the first half of 2026, up fourfold year on year, returning Vietnam to the top of Southeast Asia for the first time in five years. The growth comes as the revised Power Development Plan VIII targets strong expansion of wind and solar, driving demand for capital and long-term power purchase agreements. Since June 1, Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thai Nguyen has bought renewable power via the national grid under the direct power purchase mechanism (DPPA), sourced from the 49 MWp Đức Huệ 2 solar plant. The plan also estimates about $136.3 billion in investment for generation and transmission grids over 2026-2030, including $118.2 billion for power sources and $18.1 billion for transmission. BloombergNEF suggests greater transparency in grid fees and DPPA payments and a broader ability to aggregate corporate demand across multiple sites.
- Profile of a Port Tycoon Newly Appearing at Eximbank: Invests Over VND 700 Billion in GEX and VIX Shares, Borrows VND 2,800 Billion from Eximbank, Acquires Real Estate Firm with Many Projects Partnering with GELEX
Viconship (VSC) appears for the first time on the list of shareholders holding at least 1% of Eximbank (EIB), with over 18.7 million shares, or 1.01%.

Viconship also owed Eximbank roughly 2,856 billion VND in long-term loans, with initial interest rates of 7–10% per year, and owed VIX 322 billion VND in short-term borrowings. Its board approved a deposit agreement to acquire 100% of the capital of Viconship Industrial Infrastructure and Real Estate Co., Ltd (BDSV) for no more than 1,100 billion VND, and BDSV had previously co-invested with the GELEX ecosystem in infrastructure companies.

REE Energy, a subsidiary of REE, has set up REE Energy Finance Co., Ltd. in the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, with initial charter capital of US$1 million (about VND 26.2 billion), wholly owned by REE Energy. Mr. Nguyễn Quang Quyền is expected to chair the company. Separately, REE disbursed VND 5 billion raised from issuing 500,000 ESOP shares at VND 10,000 each on 13/10/2026 to repay a loan.

- Energy Transition Update - Rising Solar Storage Market Spurs Global Clean Energy Shift
The solar energy storage market is expected to grow at a 17.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2033, driven by rising solar adoption, demand for backup power, grid stability needs, falling battery costs and supportive clean energy policies. Lithium-ion batteries dominate, Asia Pacific leads on robust solar deployments, and North America and Europe are growing strongly due to residential battery adoption. Key challenges include high upfront installation costs and supply chain dependence on battery materials. In trading, Barito Pacific jumped 20.1% to IDR1,435.00 after announcing a share repurchase program, while Hanwha Solutions fell 9.9% to ₩30,600. Tesla rose 3.8% to $368.06.
- Can SEDG Capitalize on the Growing AI Data Center Power Market?
SolarEdge is developing an MVAC-to-800 VDC power technology for AI data centers, showcased at the NVIDIA AI Factory MGX Ecosystem Showcase, to improve power delivery, distribution and protection for next-generation AI systems. The move could help diversify beyond its solar and energy-management markets, and its work with NVIDIA and the Open Compute Project ecosystem may open doors with industry stakeholders. However, commercial success depends on system validation, customer adoption, the pace of 800 VDC deployment, and proof of reliability, safety and cost-effectiveness. The article also highlights Enphase (ENPH), which is developing its IQ Solid-State Transformer to convert medium-voltage AC directly to 800 VDC, and First Solar (FSLR), which could benefit from rising solar demand driven by AI data centers' electricity needs.
- Awaiting Removal of the 'Bottleneck' in Rooftop Solar Power Sales
Vietnam has more than 134,000 rooftop solar systems, but selling electricity still faces hurdles in licensing and transaction procedures. Bitexco said rooftop solar under 1 MW selling directly through private lines is exempt from a power generation licence but not from distribution and retail licences, and proposed synchronized licence exemptions for these stages if capacity thresholds set by the Government are met, while stressing that exemption does not mean exemption from technical, safety and liability obligations. Nguyen Xuan Quy, vice chairman of the Vietnam Clean Energy Association, said Decree 243/2026/NĐ-CP raised the share of surplus rooftop solar that can be sold to the grid from 20% to up to 50%, but unstandardized procedures and anti-reverse-flow devices installed on many systems mean part of the surplus goes unused. According to EVN, by the end of August the country had 134,410 systems with total installed capacity of over 11,450 MWp. The Ministry of Industry and Trade said it had accepted adding a provision assigning the Government to determine cases exempt from electricity activity licences.

- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq wobble after sharp tech sell-off
US stock futures wobbled on Friday as worries over the AI trade lingered after a steep tech sell-off sparked a flight to bonds. Dow futures fell 0.2% and S&P 500 futures dropped 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were little changed after semiconductors and Big Tech sold off Thursday. Concerns over rising financing costs and a possible slowdown in capex weighed on neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave (CRWV), with Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD also retreating. Oil stayed near a five-month high, with Brent touching $113 per barrel and WTI near $100 per barrel. Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla's (TSLA) surprise $5 billion cut to capex plans has not shaken confidence in a large Cybercab network, with Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco's modeling assuming a fleet of 5 million by end-2040.
- Russia and Ukraine trade fresh strikes despite renewed push for U.S.-brokered peace talks
Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine's energy facilities, knocking out electricity for over 500,000 people in several regions, and Ukraine's Energy Ministry said restoration work had begun where security allowed. Russia's Defense Ministry said air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 443 Ukrainian drones overnight. The strikes came after U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, and Putin said Moscow was ready to resume U.S.-mediated talks with Kyiv in November. An energy ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump on Oct. 11 has yielded no meaningful result, and Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for a ceasefire but needed strong security guarantees.
- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Has 32% of Berkshire Hathaway's $364 Billion Portfolio Invested in 3 Unstoppable AI Stocks

- Stock-Split Watch: Is ASML Next?
ASML shares have gained 189% over the past three years, trailing the 247% rise in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index, and now trade above $1,600 per share. The article argues that management could carry out a forward stock split to make the shares more attractive to retail investors, though this would not change the company's fundamentals, and many brokerages now offer fractional share purchases. In the third quarter, ASML reported revenue of 11.66 billion euros, up 55% year over year, after selling 113 lithography systems versus 66 a year earlier, with EUV machines used for AI chips driving the gains. The company expects 14.7 billion euros in revenue this quarter, a 51% increase, and plans to raise advanced chipmaking equipment capacity by 30% in 2027. Customers are reportedly interested in orders for 2029 and 2030, and ASML trades at 27 times forward earnings, below its five-year average of 33.
