TotalEnergies ENEOS has started the installation of a nearly 28 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) system at Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex site, located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This project marks the largest rooftop solar installation in the country for TotalEnergies ENEOS, consolidating its presence in the industrial renewable electricity production sector.

A major project for Samsung Electronics

Under a twenty-year Power Purchase Agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS is fully financing, installing, operating, and maintaining over 45,000 solar PV modules. Once the system is operational, it is expected to generate more than 40,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually. This output will cover approximately 26% of the onsite electricity consumption of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex.

The energy production will also prevent the emission of more than 26,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) each year, according to data provided by TotalEnergies ENEOS on April 25.

Investment backed by local authorities

The official ceremony for awarding the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) to TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Projects Vietnam Project Co. Ltd was recently held. Ingrid Jaumain, Asia Pacific Zone Director for TotalEnergies Distributed Generation, ChoonKi Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, and Vo Van Hoan, Deputy Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, attended the event.

Local authorities consider this project as aligned with Vietnam’s sustainable development goals, particularly regarding industrial decarbonisation. The cooperation between Samsung Electronics and TotalEnergies ENEOS is part of the broader commitment by the technology giant to the RE100 initiative, which gathers companies aiming for 100% renewable electricity.

A partnership focused on industrial energy supply

ChoonKi Kwon, President of Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex, stated: “We do not consider this merely an energy project. This marks the beginning of a comprehensive transformation phase, where technology contributes to operational efficiency as well as the sustainable development of people and society.”

Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, added: “We are pleased to be Samsung’s green energy partner in Vietnam. Leveraging TotalEnergies’ global expertise, we are ready to support Samsung’s power needs while accelerating their clean energy transition in Southeast Asia.”
