Helping advance Vietnam’s shift towards clean, low-carbon power generation
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.

The project plans on combatting the use of fossil fuels by installing a solar energy plant in the Dak Lak province, north of Ho Chi Minh City. With the help of 151,500 solar panels converting endless energy from the beating sun into renewable energy, the plant generates over 73,000 MWh which is directly sent to the national grid.
The Srepok 1 Solar Power Project aims to support Vietnam’s efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity by supplying renewable energy to the national grid. By displacing a portion of emissions from conventional sources, the project is expected to contribute to climate change mitigation and support long-term energy sector development.
