Sharp Energy Solutions Corporation (SESJ) has completed a 49MW-dc solar power plant in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, an announcement revealed.
Set for operations in early June,the new plant has an annual power generation capacity estimated at 73.14GWh/year, which is equivalent to the amount consumed in a year by 38,762 average Vietnamese households.
Sharp has so far constructed three solar power plants in Vietnam, for a combined capacity of approximately 146 MW-dc. This new plant will raise the total capacity to approximately 195MW-dc.
The project was a collaboration with multiple partners, including Sermsang Power Corporation (SSP) of Thailand, and SSP affiliate Truong Than Quang Ngai Power and High Technology Joint Stock Company, the latter of which will be in charge of operating the new plant.
The Vietnamese government has formulated a plan to raise solar power generation capacity in the country to 12GW by 2030.
