The project, in association with a leading utility scale provider, will be a substantial step towards achieving the 12 GW of solar photovoltaic target set by the Government of Vietnam. With the turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contract, along with operations and maintenance, the project also marks Waaree Energies’ expansion to South East Asia. Waaree Energies will be using its high efficiency mono-crystalline panels for this project. The company has setup an international project office in Vietnam, and the work for project is in full swing.
Being developed in Khanh Hoa province of the country, the project has been approved by EVN (Vietnam Electricity) for 60 mw AC.
