The plant, invested by the KN Van Ninh Solar Development and Investment Company, officially generated electricity to the national grid last month, with an output of nearly 162,000 MWh a year.

Vice Chairman of Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee Dinh Van Thieu said the plant helps raise the national electricity generation capacity and creates jobs for locals.

The development of renewable energy, including solar energy, is in line with the Government’s strategy for sustainable growth, contributing to national energy security, realizing commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and pushing economic restructuring, he said.

The official affirmed that the provincial administration will continue to support and create favourable conditions for enterprises to invest in the locality.
