TotalEnergies ENEOS commenced the installation of a nearly 28 megawatt-peak (MWp) rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at global technology leader Samsung Electronics’ HCMC CE Complex factory.
Located at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, this project is TotalEnergies ENEOS’ largest rooftop solar project in the country.
Under the 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS will fully invest in, install, operate, and maintain over 45,000 solar PV modules. Upon the completion of the installation, the project is expected to generate over 40,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, powering approximately 26% of Samsung Electronics’ onsite operations and avoiding more than 26,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Ingrid Jaumain, Zone Director for TotalEnergies Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, acting for TotalEnergies ENEOS, joined by ChoonKi Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, and Vo Van Hoan, Deputy Chairman of the People Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, convened to receive the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) awarded to TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Projects Vietnam Project Co. Ltd, the investor in this project.
This significant step forward in industrial decarbonisation has been long anticipated by both parties and the People Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, aligning with Vietnam’s sustainable development goals.
Choonki Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, said, “We do not consider this as just an energy project. This is the beginning of a comprehensive transformation phase, where technology serves not only operational efficiency, but also the sustainable development of people and society.”
Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, added, “We are pleased to be Samsung’s green energy partner in Vietnam. Leveraging TotalEnergies’ extensive global expertise, TotalEnergies ENEOS is ready to support Samsung’s power demands while accelerating their clean energy transition in Southeast Asia.”
