Participating in the delegation, Pacifico Energy representatives brought the message that a leading U.S. renewable energy corporation in Vietnam is aiming to expand investment here, in order to realize the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) U.S.-Vietnam Strategy. Clean energy is increasingly becoming a requirement not only for the semiconductor industry but also for advanced manufacturing and multinational companies in general. Expanding investment in renewable energy in Vietnam will help promote energy security, create the necessary infrastructure to attract high-quality investment, and support sustainable development goals for Vietnam's net emissions.

In particular, at the meeting with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Pacifico representatives expressed their appreciation for the Prime Minister's instructions and continuous support to create a favorable legal environment for renewable energy projects creation, including allowing direct Power Purchase Agreement mechanisms between private companies and capital-mobilizing Power Purchase Agreements with Vietnam Electricity.
