Once the solar panels are installed on the rooftops across existing properties of KCN Vietnam, the maximum solar energy generated will be 45 MWp. The annual output will be 51 GWh and it will be enough to reduce more than 23,000 tons of carbon dioxide every year.

KCN Vietnam believes this partnership will aid the fight for sustainable industrial practices in Vietnam. As per the official statement of the company, this opportunity will not only adhere to the company’s sustainable development strategy but also provide clean energy to tenants looking to reduce carbon emissions.

Tran Huynh, COO of KCN Vietnam, stated, “Since the establishment of KCN Vietnam, we have been looking for a reliable and experienced partner to help provide clean energy to our tenants. It has been a long journey, but we finally signed the MOU with TotalEnergies. We strongly believe this partnership will aid our stakeholders and us in the journey towards creating a more sustainable industrial environment in Vietnam.”
