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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
