JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. today announced that it has supplied 100MW of solar modules for the Srepok 1 and Quang Minh Solar Power Plant Complex in Vietnam.
The project is located in Buon Don district in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak. Construction began in October 2018 with commercial operations beginning in January 2019. A total of VNĐ2.2 trillion (US$95 million) was invested in the project by Dai Hai Investment.

Speaking at the inauguration of the project, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh said that Dak Lak had an important strategic position in terms of economic development and security and defense in the region. Deputy Prime Minister Binh commented, "Renewable energy has become a global trend and Vietnam in general, and Dak Lak in particular, have a lot of potential for solar energy development. This complex will play an important role in our efforts to further the province's socio-economic development while ensuring national energy security."
JinkoSolar was selected as the exclusive supplier for the project. Ms. Anita Li, General Manager of JinkoSolar, commented, "We are excited to collaborate with Dai Hai Investment to develop and promote solar energy in Vietnam.
