# Can a factory in Vietnam lower its market based Scope 2 through a direct power purchase agreement?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/vietnam-direct-ppa-factory-scope-2

Yes, if the contract carries the renewable attributes to your site. A 2024 decree allows direct power purchase from wind and solar producers, through a private line or through the national grid. Market based Scope 2 can count those kWh at zero with the contract and monthly delivery records; location based stays on the grid factor.

## Two forms

- Private line: the producer connects directly to your plant.
- Through the grid: you buy from the producer via the utility, with settlement rules.

## What makes it count

- Contract naming your site and the attributes.
- Monthly delivered kWh matched to consumption.
- No double sale of certificates for the same power.

## Check eligibility

Consumption thresholds, voltage levels and fees are set in the rules and can change. Confirm with the current decree and your industrial park operator.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible reads electricity bills and supply statements into a dated, fingerprinted record, so the kWh behind a market based claim trace back to the documents.
