Siemens supplies equipment for Vietnam’s largest solar farm
The farm is the first solar project for Siemens in Southeast Asia, and has a capacity of 204 megawatts peak.
Siemens has won a contract to supply equipment to Vietnam-based Trung Nam Group, which earlier this month started building the country’s largest solar farm.The supplies include inverters, power- and distribution transformers, gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear, circuit-breakers, and a monitoring and control system. All transformers are to be delivered as Sensformer with digital interface.

The overall project constitutes an “Electrical Balance of Plant” (eBoP) solution, and involves a number of Siemens units, headed by Medium Voltage and Systems. The solution includes all the electrical engineering components needed to equip a photovoltaic plant.
The farm is the first solar project for Siemens in Southeast Asia, and has a capacity of 204 megawatts peak (MWp). The project will deliver up to 425 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year, enough to supply approximately 200,000 households with electricity and saves around 250,000 tons of CO2 annually.
The project, in the southern province of Ninh Thuan, is expected to come into operation by mid-2019. Power from the farm will be fed into the high-voltage grid and the power distributed around the country.

“Vietnam’s need for energy is rapidly growing. To cover this demand, we must increase the share of renewables, among other things. The government is aiming at developing 18 gigawatts of generating capacity by 2030. Siemens is supporting us with our solar project so we can reach the government targets for developing renewable energy in Vietnam,” said Nguyen Tam Tien, general director at Trung Nam Group.
“With the capacity of 204MW Trung Nam Solar Power Plant is the largest single plant of its kind in Vietnam, thus making Trung Nam a true pioneer in solar energy in Vietnam… We are very pleased to partner with Trung Nam Group for this truly remarkable benchmark project thus creating clean and environmentally friendly energy for Vietnam,” said Siemens Vietnam President and CEO Thai-Lai Pham.
