Constant Energy And KIDO Vinh Commission 2.65 MWp Rooftop Solar Project In Vietnam

Constant Energy and KIDO Vinh Company Limited have officially inaugurated a 2.65 MWp rooftop solar power system at the KIDO Vinh factory located in Lac Son Industrial Zone, Do Luong District, Nghe An Province, Vietnam. The project marks an important step in supporting KIDO Vinh’s long-term sustainability plans and increasing the use of clean energy in the waterproof and outerwear garment manufacturing sector.

KIDO Vinh Company Limited was established in 2011 and serves as the second production facility in Vietnam for KIDO Industrial Co., Ltd., a South Korea–based outerwear manufacturer that has been operating since 1980. The newly commissioned rooftop solar system has an installed capacity of 2.65 MWp and is expected to help the factory avoid at least 35 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The solar power generated from the system will be used to support daily factory operations while also improving long-term energy stability and reducing reliance on conventional electricity sources.

The construction of the project faced several challenges, including the impact of two major storms and difficult weather conditions during the installation period. Despite these obstacles, the Constant Energy team implemented strong risk management measures, maintained strict safety standards, and carried out detailed planning to ensure smooth execution. As a result, the project was completed on schedule, with zero accidents and without any disruption to KIDO Vinh’s manufacturing activities.

The strong safety record and timely delivery of the project were acknowledged by Mr. William Lee, General Director of KIDO Vinh. He expressed appreciation for Constant Energy’s efforts and commitment to safety, noting that the accident-free construction process gave the company confidence in the partnership. He also stated that KIDO Vinh is ready to use renewable energy supplied by Constant Energy and believes the collaboration will help the company become more sustainable over the next 20 years.

Oscar Loza, Country Manager of Constant Energy Vietnam, highlighted the importance of the project for the company. He noted that the 2.65 MWp system is a key achievement and that KIDO Vinh is Constant Energy’s first Korean partner in Vietnam. He emphasized the team’s dedication to delivering the project safely, on time, and to high quality standards despite severe weather conditions, and confirmed Constant Energy’s commitment to providing long-term service and operational support.

Constant Energy’s focus on safety and sustainability is backed by its strong ESG performance, including four consecutive EcoVadis Gold ratings and a GRESB 5-star rating, where it has ranked number one worldwide for PV power generation in Asia for four consecutive years. In Vietnam, the company continues to focus on long-term partnerships, supported by an in-house team with expertise in business development, legal, engineering, and finance, ensuring consistent support across the full project lifecycle.
