Samsung Electronics is leading the way in renewable energy with its new solar power project in Vietnam.
The company inaugurated a rooftop solar power project with a capacity of nearly 28 MWp at its manufacturing facility in Ho Chi Minh City on July 3. This initiative is set to generate over 40,000 MWh of clean electricity annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Samsung’s Solar Power Initiative in Ho Chi Minh City
The solar power system features nearly 45,000 solar panels installed across the rooftops of the Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex. This project adheres to international technical standards and is the first rooftop solar project in Vietnam to operate under the Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) mechanism.
By utilizing a dedicated transmission line, the project aligns with Government Decree No. 57/2025/ND-CP, showcasing a commitment to innovative energy solutions in the region.
Impact on Vietnam’s Energy Transition
Once fully operational, the facility will contribute to Vietnam’s energy transition by generating clean electricity and reducing carbon emissions by over 26,000 tons of CO2 each year. This aligns with the country’s goals for emissions reduction and increased use of renewable energy.
Samsung’s initiative not only supports its global sustainability strategy but also sets a precedent for future renewable energy projects in Vietnam.
Future Steps for Renewable Energy Expansion
- Expand renewable energy initiatives in Vietnam.
- Support the group’s global sustainability strategy.
- Contribute to Vietnam’s emissions reduction goals.
This solar project marks a significant step towards a sustainable future in Vietnam.
