TotalEnergies in collaboration with Hiep Phat International Agricultural Co. Ltd has installed a 2.1 MWp ground-mounted solar PV system in Vietnam. This is the first agri-PV system in Asia Pacific by TotalEnergies. The system, with over 3,600 panels, will supply about 20% of Hiep Phat’s plant and office energy needs. The project generates around 3,250 MWh electricity annually. Hiep Phat plans to grow plants, including herbs for organic chicken farming, beneath the panels. TotalEnergies funded, installed, and will operate the system, with Hiep Phat purchasing electricity for 20 years.
