Vietnam has inaugurated Southeast Asia's largest solar power farm which
has the capacity to produce 688 million kWh of electricity annually.
The
Dau Tieng Solar Power Complex, a joint venture with the Thai industrial
group B.Grimm Power Public Company, occupies 540 hectares in Tay Ninh
province, some 100 km from Ho Chi Minh City, and has an investment of
more than $391 million, developer Xuan Cau told Efe news on Wednesday.
The
complex, which was officially inaugurated on Saturday, was constructed
on the Dau Tieng Reservoir - the largest artificial lake in Vietnam -
and is expected to generate 10 per cent of the country's solar energy to
guarantee supply to 320,000 homes.
The company said it will also prevent the emission of 595,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.
Vietnam,
in the last few years, has been trying to attract foreign investment in
renewable energy, which is in its initial stages in a country where
hydropower plants and thermal power stations make up the majority of the
supply.
