Nami Energy: Growing with Greater Confidence

June 4, 2026

A business in motion

For commercial and industrial businesses in Vietnam, rooftop solar is becoming a practical way to manage energy costs while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Nami Energy, founded in 2019, works across the full project lifecycle, from development and financing to long-term operations.

By December 2025, Nami had commissioned 12 projects with a total installed capacity of 22.9 MWp. Its footprint now extends from southern to northern Vietnam, with the company targeting 260 MWp by the end of 2034.With that growth came an opportunity to put more formal systems around how the business manages environmental, social and governance matters. For Nami, that meant moving beyond an early ESG framework towards a more practical and consistent approach that could support day-to-day operations as well as investor expectations.

Putting the pieces in place

In 2024, Nami was selected to receive technical assistance supported by Australian Development Investments (ADI) through Clime Capital’s SEACEF II fund. Technical assistance focused on strengthening its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Management System (ESGMS).

This covered:

  • tailored ESG policies
  • staff training on implementation
  • tools for ESG screening and monitoring
  • stronger ESG integration across the project lifecycle

This support helped Nami take a more structured approach to ESG. The company introduced its first ESG management system and released its first ESG report, giving stakeholders a clearer view of how these issues are being managed as the business grows. It has also continued the rollout through training staff and suppliers, alongside an ESG webpage that sets out its approach more clearly.

“ADI technical assistance gave us the confidence to effectively implement our ESGMS. While Nami had an initial ESG framework in place, the practical guidance from the TA was crucial in aligning our ESG practices with operational needs and fundraising expectations.”

Earning trust as it grows

The work is also shaping how Nami engages with suppliers and customers. Suppliers are now expected to meet the company’s ESG standards, including requirements related to child labour prevention and environmental compliance. Nami says these changes have helped reinforce customer trust and support the continued growth of its project pipeline.

ADI’s support for Nami reflects a broader approach to climate investing. By strengthening ESG practices and transparency, the TA helped Nami build stronger confidence with customers, suppliers, and investors. Since the TA was completed, Nami has signed term sheets with several potential investors, reinforcing the link between stronger business systems and access to capital. This matters because stronger businesses are better placed to support the clean energy transition in Southeast Asia.
