Canadian Solar, a manufacturer of solar PV modules and provider of solar energy solutions, has achieved commercial operations at the 15MWp Chu Ngoc Solar Project owned by Licogi 16.
The Chu Ngoc Solar Project marks the first third-party engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project for Canadian Solar in Vietnam.
Canadian Solar said that it has supplied solar modules, inverter stations and provided EPC services in a joint venture with IPC Technique and SD668 Vietnam.
The Chu Ngoc Solar Plant is located on a site covering an approximately 43acres area, near Phú Túc, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam.
The project featuring more than 45,500 of Canadian Solar’s 1500V MaxPower modules (CS6U-P) installed on fixed tilt racking systems, has started commercial operation in June 2019.
The solar plant is expected to produce adequate electricity catering to the needs of more than 3,800 households and displace approximately 8,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
Canadian Solar chairman Shawn Qu said: “We are pleased to have completed the project with joint efforts from IPC Technique JSC and SD668 Vietnam JSC. This partnership with Licogi 16 JSC further expands our presence in Vietnam. We are committed to delivering more projects in Vietnam as we further expand our close to 1GWp global EPC project pipeline.”
In February 2019, the company started commercial operations at 68MWp solar power project located in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Canadian Solar has supplied more than 200,000 of its high-efficiency CS6U-P poly modules for the project, which is expected to generate 145GWh of electricity per annum.
The project is capable of producing electricity adequate to power 20,690 households and eliminate 72,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Canadian Solar is expected to provide operations and maintenance services for the plant and create 15 new jobs over a period of 20 years, in addition to a total of 535 jobs created during the construction phase of the solar project.
