JinkoSolar has supplied 100MW of its high efficiency PV modules for the Srepok 1 and Quang Minh Solar Power Plant Complex, which stands as one of Vietnam's largest solar power projects.
Located in Buon Don district in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, the PV installation began commercial operations in January 2019 after beginning construction back in October 2018. A total of US$95 million was invested into the site. It is expected to cut down the need to import approximately 90,000 tons of coal into Vietnam on a yearly basis, while also reducing CO2 emissions by 72,000 tons.
