Scatec Solar CEO Raymond Carlsen said: “With this partnership, we take the first step in positioning Scatec Solar for the growing solar market in Vietnam. As an affordable, fast and reliable source of energy, we believe solar energy has tremendous potential in Vietnam.”

The three projects will be realised under a new feed-in tariff regime that is expected to be launched later this year.

Scatec Solar is also expected to provide the project’s equity funding and serve as the turnkey engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) provider for the three projects.

It will also be providing operation and maintenance, as well as asset management services to the projects.
