This comes under a cooperation agreement on developing rooftop solar power in those areas signed between the HCM City Export Processing Zone and Industrial Park Authority Business Association (HBA) and BCG Energy JSC, an affiliate of Bamboo Capital Group yesterday. Accordingly, from now to 2024, BCG Energy will develop at least 300MWp of rooftop solar power at factories based in local processing zones, industrial parks and hi-tech parks.
The HBA also aims to install rooftop solar panels at 1,000 companies to raise the capacity to 1,000MWp to help reduce 23 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
