TotalEnergies ENEOS has commenced the installation of a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system with a capacity of nearly 28 megawatt-peak (MWp) at the Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex factory, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This project represents TotalEnergies ENEOS’ largest rooftop solar initiative to date in the country.
Under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS will fully invest in, install, operate, and maintain the solar PV system, which will consist of more than 45,000 modules. Once the installation is complete, the system is expected to generate over 40,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This clean energy will supply approximately 26% of Samsung Electronics’ onsite operational needs and will contribute to the reduction of more than 26,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Through this partnership with TotalEnergies ENEOS, Samsung Electronics reinforces its commitment to the RE100 initiative, a global program bringing together businesses dedicated to sourcing 100% of their electricity from renewable sources. This collaboration not only supports Samsung’s sustainability roadmap but also promotes greater environmental consciousness among its employees, partners, and the surrounding community.
Choonki KWON, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, mentioned, “We do not consider this as just an energy project. This is the beginning of a comprehensive transformation phase, where technology serves not only operational efficiency, but also the sustainable development of people and society.”
Alexandru BUZATU, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, said in a statement, “We are pleased to be Samsung’s green energy partner in Vietnam. Leveraging TotalEnergies extensive global expertise, TotalEnergies ENEOS is ready to support Samsung’s power demands while accelerating their clean energy transition in Southeast Asia.”
The commencement of this project was marked by the awarding of the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) to TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Projects Vietnam Project Co. Ltd., the entity responsible for investing in the project. The ceremony was attended by Ingrid Jaumain, Zone Director for TotalEnergies Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, ChoonKi Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, and Vo Van Hoan, Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.
This project signifies an important advancement in industrial decarbonization efforts and aligns closely with Vietnam’s broader sustainable development goals. It demonstrates a shared commitment by both TotalEnergies ENEOS and Samsung Electronics to foster a greener, more sustainable future.
