My Son Solar

Driving Vietnam’s renewables revolution through solar power

Viet Nam
My Son Solar

As modern industrialisation grows in Vietnam, so do its energy demands. Although leading the charge in Southeast Asia’s transition to renewables, the country is unable to keep up with steep energy needs and electricity shortages are frequent. It is imperative that the country uses clean, renewable energy to power its development, rather than relying on fossil fuel-based power which is destroying the Earth’s atmosphere with harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustainable Development Goals

1. No Poverty

Employees earn 3.5 times higher salary

than the local average

4. Quality Education

4 training programmes provided

to improve employees skills

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

77,000 MWh of clean and renewable energy

on average per year

8. Decent work and economic growth

19 jobs created

for local workers

13. Climate Action

65,000 tonnes of CO2e mitigated

on average each year

The Solution

The project combats the use of fossil fuels by installing a solar energy plant in the Ninh Thuan province, just northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. With the help of solar panels converting endless energy from the beating sun into sustainable electricity, the plant generates over 77,000 MWh of clean energy which is directly sent to the national grid.

The Impact

This project reduces Vietnam's reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources, displacing fossil fuels and reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. It drives Vietnam toward growth and economic development, fulfilled by green and reliable power. It also boosts local economies and curbs poverty, by creating training and stable and well-paid employment for local workers.
