Southeast Asia’s downstream solar company Conergy has been selected as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for a 30MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power project in the south-central coastal region of Vietnam.

As part of the project initiation, Conergy conducted a ground-breaking ceremony at the 400,000mt2 solar plant site located in Ninh Thuan province.

The project is reported to be the first phase of the 300MW clean energy project in the country.

Conergy will be developing solar power plant on behalf of investment firms including BIM Group from Vietnam and AC Energy from the Philippines.

Conergy COO Marc Lohoff said: “We are delighted to announce our selection as EPC contractor for yet another large solar project in the ASEAN region, and more importantly, our first project in Vietnam.

“We would like to thank and congratulate the Government of Vietnam, the people of the province on Ninh Thuan, local authorities in Ninh Thuan province and our clients for the development of this solar farm, which will help to provide some of the energy needed to fuel Vietnam’s successful development in the years ahead.”

The construction works at the site are expected to begin from April this year and are scheduled to be connected to Vietnam’s power grid later this year in December.

Upon completion, the Ninh Thuan solar farm is expected to generate 50,464MW of clean electricity per year and save approximately 21,629 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

BIM Group chairman Doan Quoc Viet said: “Our ambition is for this project to represent a springboard to the solar energy era in Vietnam.

“This project will help Vietnam to prosper economically without sacrificing the environment. It is one of Vietnam’s most sustainable energy projects, and we are very excited to complete the project later this year and start generating clean energy.”
