In a
significant development marking the end of 2020, two large-scale floating solar
projects in Vietnam were commissioned in December. They were the 35 MWp Ho Tam
Bo floating solar power plant and the 35 MWp Ho Gia Hoet 1 floating PV plant. The
two projects have been set up on Gia Hoet 1 and Tam Bo irrigation lakes, in
Quang Thanh commune, Chau Duc district.
The 35-MWp Ho Tam Bo Floating Solar Power Plant and the 35-MWp Ho Gia Hoet 1 floating PV plant together form the largest floating PV cluster in Southeast Asia
LONGi supplied the high efficiency PV modules for both projects. Despite the
challenges arising from COVID-19, the China-based module manufacturer completed
module deliveries ahead of schedule, ensuring the timely completion of the
projects that together comprise the largest floating PV plant cluster not just
in Vietnam but entire Southeast Asia region, with a combined capacity of 70
MWp. The only other operational floating solar power project in the country is
Da Mi Plant by EVN.
Similarly,
the Ho Gia Hoet 1 plant included the solar power station of 35 MWp, 22/110 kV
step-up transformer substation and 1.86 km of transmission line running from
Gia Hoet 1 to Tam Bo 22/110 kV step-up transformer substation. This plant also received
final commissioning on December 12, 2020.
LONGi
supplied 74,469 panels of 470 Wp power for these landmark projects. “The
market for floating photovoltaic projects has witnessed increasing growth over
the past few years, with the installed capacities of individual projects rising
year on year. LONGi has been supplying to several floating solar power projects
across the world and we are proud to be associated with the TOJI Group in setting
up their first floating solar plant in Vietnam,” said Dennis She, Senior
Vice President, LONGi Solar.
After
the commissioning of the projects, Chairman of Toji Group, Ho Minh Tien said, “On
behalf of our investors, the Toji Group would like to thank the People's
Committee of BRVT, Vietnam Electricity EVN, Vietnam Rubber Group, People's
Committee of Chau Duc District, People's Committee of Quang Thanh Commune, and
affiliates of EVN A0 , A2, SPC, PC BRVT and its subcontractors partner units
that supported, facilitated and accompanied Toji Group in this project. We
would also like to thank all the suppliers of Ho Tam Bo and Ho Gia Hoet 35+35 MWp
floating solar farm that was commissioned on December 12, 2020.”
