Sembcorp subsidiary to build solar facilities in Vietnam industrial parks
The first project, a solar farm atop VSIP’s admin building, has already been completed.
Sembcorp Industries subsidiary Sembcorp Smart Energy Solutions Vietnam tied up with Becamex and Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) to develop rooftop solar facilities in their integrated townships and industrial parks in the country, according to a press release.
This will also involve renewable energy, waste-to-energy, wastewater treatment and water recycling projects brought to VSIP’s integrated townships and industrial parks as well as other Becamex-owned industrial parks and facilities.
The first completed project under this collaboration is a 51 kilowatt-peak rooftop solar farm atop the 12,000-sq ft VSIP administrative building in Binh Duong province, which marked its entry into the renewable energy sector in Vietnam.
The system is backed by a digital platform connected to Sembcorp’s Solar Performance Monitoring Centre in Singapore, which remotely monitors in real-time the output of every single string of rooftop solar systems installed across its solar projects in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
