After selling 39 percent to TNB Renewables, likely this month, Sunseap will own a 51 percent stake in them. Sunseap Group owns projects in Singapore, Australia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, and Cambodia. In 2019, it completed the $150-million solar farm, the solar power plant CMX Renewable Energy Vietnam, one of the country’s largest in central Ninh Thuan Province. TNB has projects in the UK, Kuwait, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, and Indonesia, and expects to have 8.3 GW of renewable energy by 2025.
