The Vietnam’s first green logistics center using solar power – Total capacity of 500 KWp
On May 8th 2017, Solar ESCO JSC. – A member of SolarBK and ICD Tân Cảng – Sóng Thần (ICD Sóng Thần) signed the contract of solar system leasing for ICD Sóng Thần Logistics Center in Thuan An, Binh Duong provice, with total capacity of 500.96 kWp.
This is the Vietnam’s first green logistics center using solar power, expected to completed on September 2017. The project is provided by the financial leasing model from SolarESCO – a member of SolarBK. Following this model, SolarESCO invest in solar power system, implemented by SolarBK, installed at ICD Song Than and supply clean electricity to this company for 12 years. Calculation shows that this project meets about 30% of the power demand for the whole center. In addition to the economic value demonstrated by the number, the solution also helps to reduce heat in offices and warehouses, reducing the amount of electricity loss, thereby saving even more money than before.
