Is Vietnam Emerging as Southeast Asia’s Leader in Green Energy? - Kevin Junker, Founder, SmartSolar - S6#40
About this episode
Vietnam is emerging as a regional leader in renewable energy, tapping into its abundant natural resources like solar, wind, and biomass. In recent years, the government has introduced various policies to encourage businesses and households to transition to clean energy, with a strong focus on rooftop solar power.
At the same time, increased private sector participation and foreign investment have played a crucial role in scaling up development, making green energy an essential part of Vietnam’s national power grid. However, to fully capitalize on its potential, the country still faces key challenges in infrastructure, storage technology, and policy frameworks.
In this week's Vietnam Innovators English podcast, host Hảo Trần sits down with Kevin Junker, Founder of SmartSolar, to discuss the future of sustainable energy in Vietnam.
With experience at McKinsey and a track record of building SmartSolar - an EnergyTech company specializing in rooftop solar solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - Kevin shares his insights on the opportunities, challenges, and innovations shaping Vietnam’s renewable energy landscape ☀️
