POWERCHINA, Thailand's B.Grimm Power Public Co Ltd, and Vietnam's Xuan Cau Co signed an Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contract for a 420MWdc photovoltaic solar power project in Tay Ninh, Vietnam on June 14.

Upon completion, the project will be the largest solar power project in Vietnam and all of ASEAN. It will be constructed by a Chinese general contractor according to Chinese standards with Chinese money and equipment.

The project is POWERCHINA's largest overseas EPC photovoltaic solar power project, demonstrating the company's achievements in promoting the development of new energy in Vietnam and ASEAN.
