Sharp Builds Mega Solar Power Plant in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam
Large 50 MW-dc output enough to power 43,700 households*1; power generation capacity of 82,506 MWh/year*2
Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation (SESJ)*3 announces the completion of a mega solar power plant in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam. The project was a collaboration with multiple partners, including power generating company Viet Nam Viet Renewable Energy Joint Stock Company*4 and local construction company as well as co-owner of the project NSN Construction and Engineering Joint Stock Company*5.
The new plant has an output of approximately 50 MW-dc, with annual power generation capacity estimated at 82,506 MWh/year. This is equivalent to the amount consumed in a year by about 43,700 average Vietnamese households. SESJ has so far constructed six solar power plants in Vietnam, for a combined capacity of approximately 290 MW-dc. This new plant will raise the total capacity to approximately 340 MW-dc. The Vietnamese government has formulated a plan*6 to raise solar power generation capacity in the country to 12,000 MW by the year 2030. SESJ will leverage the technologies and know-how it has gained from the construction of power plants around the world and remains committed to spreading renewable energy in Vietnam.
