SEV and CME Solar Launch 2.38 MW Solar Project to Support Samsung’s Green Transformation in Vietnam

In a significant step towards sustainable energy, SEV (Samsung Electronics Vietnam) has partnered with CME Solar Investment to develop a 2.38 MW solar project at Samsung’s production facilities in Vietnam. The project, set to generate 2.59 million kWh of clean electricity annually, will also reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 2,460 tonnes each year.

This collaboration marks the first between SEV and CME Solar, and it reflects Samsung’s ongoing commitment to integrating renewable energy across its production facilities in Vietnam. The initiative aligns with the company’s global green transformation strategy, which focuses on a low-emissions future.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Kim Iee Soo, General Director of SEV, emphasized that the project highlights Samsung’s responsibility toward both environmental sustainability and Vietnamese society. He described the initiative as a significant milestone in the company’s green transition.

Chung Dieu Tuan, CEO of CME Solar, reinforced the project’s importance, noting that it contributes not only to energy efficiency but also to Vietnam’s long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Tuan highlighted the role of corporate participation in driving the country’s sustainable development agenda.

The SEV plant, which began operations in 2008, was Samsung’s first mobile phone manufacturing site in Vietnam. This solar energy initiative is considered the first step in a nationwide green transition for Samsung’s factories in the region.

The partnership between SEV and CME Solar underscores their shared commitment to Vietnam’s sustainable development goals and the global trend towards eco-friendly industrial practices.
