SINGAPORE: TotalEnergies ENEOS has launched its largest rooftop solar power project in Vietnam, installing a nearly 28 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex in Ho Chi Minh City. This ambitious initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s renewable energy portfolio.
The project, which will see the installation of over 45,000 solar PV modules, is set to generate more than 40,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. Once completed, it will supply 26% of Samsung Electronics’ onsite operations with green energy, while also reducing 26,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year.
In line with Samsung’s commitment to the RE100 initiative, which advocates for the use of 100% renewable electricity, this collaboration underscores the company’s ongoing dedication to sustainability. By sourcing green electricity for its operations, Samsung not only advances its environmental goals but also promotes sustainability within its workforce and broader community.
Ingrid Jaumain, Zone Director for TotalEnergies Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, joined by Choonki Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, and Vo Van Hoan, Deputy Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City’s People Committee, attended a ceremony marking the awarding of the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) to TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Projects Vietnam Project Co. Ltd. This marks a pivotal step in the industrial decarbonisation effort, aligned with Vietnam’s national sustainable development goals.
Choonki Kwon shared: “This project goes beyond energy generation. It is the start of a broader transformation, where technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters the sustainable development of people and society.”
For Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, the project is a testament to the company’s expertise in accelerating the clean energy transition across Southeast Asia. “We are proud to support Samsung’s power needs in Vietnam, helping them achieve their clean energy targets while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability in the region.”
With TotalEnergies ENEOS at the helm of this green energy initiative, the partnership is set to deliver not only a sustainable energy solution for Samsung but also a positive environmental impact for the local community and beyond.
