SEACEF invests in Vietnam solar and storage project

The South East Asia Clean Energy Facility (SEACEF), a collaboration of international foundations seeking to accelerate the low-carbon transition in Southeast Asia, has invested at the development phase of a floating solar and storage project at Dong Nai province in southeastern Vietnam. …

The project, under development by Blueleaf Energy, comprises a floating solar and storage peaking plant with a target capacity of 500Mp with battery energy storage system (BESS) of up to 200MWh capacity. In addition, the project is expected to avoid an average of 372 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year over a 25-year lifetime and a maximum of 412 ktC02 if the battery uses solar generation to displace peaking diesel generation.
