IEA: COVID-19 crisis highlights the need for energy security
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created an unprecedented global health and economic crisis.
The energy sector, as a key enabler of modern life, is uniquely affected by this crisis but is also critical for global and national response and recovery efforts, says International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director, Dr Fatih Birol.
Energy security remains a major area of attention and the crisis highlights the critical value of electricity infrastructure and know-how, underpinning the response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Birol adds that it demonstrates the central role and importance of electricity, and what policy makers need to do in order to ensure that current and future systems remain reliable even as they are transformed by the rise of clean energy technologies.
He urged that when governments respond to these interlinked crises, “they must not lose sight of a major challenge of our time: clean energy transitions”.
Efforts to counter COVID-19 economic damage
Governments are drawing up stimulus plans in an effort to counter the economic damage from the coronavirus.
“These packages offer an excellent opportunity to ensure that the essential task of building a secure and sustainable energy future doesn’t get lost amid the flurry of immediate priorities,” said Birol.
The IEA is providing up-to-date data and rigorous analysis on the effects of the crisis, and recommendations for how governments and industry can make smart decisions that will lead to the affordable, secure and sustainable energy systems of the future.
Millions of people are now confined to their homes, resorting to teleworking to do their jobs, e-commerce sites to do their shopping, and streaming video platforms to find entertainment.
The IEA highlighted that a reliable electricity supply underpins all of these services, as well as powering the devices most people take for granted such as fridges, washing machines and light bulbs.
“The huge disruption caused by the coronavirus crisis has highlighted how much modern societies rely on electricity,” stated Birol.

Vietnamese Solar Industry Must Increase Investment to Protect Long Term Performance
While solar development has boomed under Feed-in Tariff (FiT) support in Vietnam, there now needs to be equal investment into mature asset management processes and technologies in order to retain investor confidence in the emerging markets. This is according to Alectris, the global operations and maintenance (O&M) provider for the solar industry and developer of industry-leading renewable energy ERP software, ACTIS.

Vietnam has recently become a hotspot for solar projects in Asia, with 2019
seeing an unprecedented boom of 4.5GW added to the grid, driven by favorable FiT rates. However, with the uplift in demand leading to grid congestion challenges, some projects have been subject to long curtailment periods, leading to lower levels of bankability than originally forecast.
And, as a consequence of developing solar farms under a fixed timeline of tariff support, some projects have subsequently found to be underperforming during operations. Compounding the challenge, there is currently limited adoption of performance monitoring processes or software that would provide owners, operators and investors with a true picture of why there may be shortfalls in production.
In order, therefore, for momentum in Vietnam and other emerging markets to be sustained in the long term, Alectris is calling for further investment to help develop a domestic O&M industry to support both existing and new projects.
Alectris believes that in order to encourage asset management best practice from the earliest stage, developers and investors should foster early stage collaboration between EPC partners traditionally awarded two-year warranty contracts for O&M activities, and third party asset managers. This would enable an early adoption of asset management best practice, alongside protecting the warranty commitments of EPCs.
In the longer term, with the shift by the Vietnamese government to PV auctions, there is a wider opportunity for the market to offer a blueprint for solar development under two different models.
Constantinos Peonides, director of business development at Alectris, said, “Though the shift to an auction system will help remove pressure on developers and EPCs in building projects with long-term viability, there is concern that underperformance from existing projects may cause investors to think twice about investing in the market in future.
“It is crucial that solar project development under FiT schemes maintain high levels of quality during construction and across operation and maintenance activities to instill confidence in investors through enhanced project offerings.”
Vietnam is due to release 1GW of solar PV auction contracts in 2020, equally split between projects at pre-selected sites and capacity earmarked for specific substations, with the World Bank set to play a central role in shaping the market’s solar policies. Working with experienced O&M providers will support these new projects while bringing the expertise needed to the region to bolster existing plants.
Alectris, providing consultancy services for 120MW in the region, has recently signed an MOU with Artelia Vietnam to deliver end-to-end operations and maintenance services for solar assets throughout Vietnam.
