Vietnam is set to mark a new milestone in energy storage manufacturing. On April 11, GG Power Group JSC will inaugurate its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) manufacturing plant in Hung Yen Province, positioning the facility as Vietnam’s first factory dedicated to energy storage batteries with advanced production lines and full alignment with international standards.

Factory snapshot: 5 GWh per year, built for grid-to-home applications

The plant sits on 1.2 hectares in Industrial Park No. 5 (Xuan Truc commune). Its designed capacity is 5 GWh per year, with production capability covering BESS solutions for:

• Power grids

• Industrial and commercial users

• Residential-scale energy storage

GG Power describes the facility as a modern manufacturing base with advanced technology, built to serve both national demand and broader supply chain development.

Goldwind partnership: full BESS technology transfer and production line support

A central pillar of the project is GG Power’s technology agreement with Goldwind, a global clean energy and wind power solution provider.

Under the agreement, Goldwind will:

• Transfer the full set of BESS production technologies to GG Power

• Provide a production line designed for 5 GWh per year

• Support applications across industrial, commercial, residential, and grid-scale energy storage

Building a domestic BESS supply chain

GG Power’s entry into manufacturing is positioned as a sign that Vietnamese companies are beginning to master international-standard BESS production and gradually build a domestic supply chain.

The article highlights five key benefits of BESS:

• Lower electricity costs

• Improved power quality

• Higher solar power efficiency

• Replacement for backup generators

• Integration with renewable power plants

Company strategy: quality-first, global standards

GG Power’s Chairman and CEO, Bui Xuan Binh, emphasized that BESS is fundamentally a trust-based industry and said the company is not pursuing a low-cost approach:

“BESS is an industry built on trust. We do not pursue low-cost products—we choose to meet global standards.”

He added that GG Power’s strategy is to move Vietnam from being a buyer to becoming an owner within the global green energy value chain:

“GG Power’s strategy is to transform Vietnam from a ‘buyer’ into a ‘value creator’ within the global green energy value chain.”

How GG Power plans to scale capabilities

According to the company, the early stage focuses on commercialization to run pilots, refine processes, and deepen market and technology understanding. In parallel, GG Power plans to seek international partners with strong R&D and products who are open to licensing-based technology transfer—then build internal capability to master, improve, and innovate for Vietnam’s market needs.

The global context: a fast-growing market dominated by a few leaders

The article notes that global BESS installations are expected to increase 15 times by 2030. The sector is described as one of the world’s highest-CAGR industries, estimated at around 23–30%, with market value projected at USD 120–150 billion by 2030.

It also highlights that today’s global BESS market is largely dominated by a small group of technology leaders, including China, the United States, the EU, South Korea, and Japan.

What this means for investors and industry

For investors and industrial stakeholders, the Hung Yen plant signals a practical shift: Vietnam is moving beyond importing energy storage solutions and beginning to develop manufacturing capability aligned with international standards—supported by major technology transfer, a meaningful initial scale (5 GWh/year), and a clear plan to build domestic competence over time.
