Located in Gia Lai province, the Krong Pa Solar Farm was commissioned in December 2018 by Gia Lai Electricity Company (GEC), a leading local renewable energy company. This project is grid-connected to the 110KV national transmission network and features 209,100 330Wp panels.
Situated in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, the Krong Pa Solar Farm adheres to both local and international standards without relocating any permanent households. The farm generates over 100 GWh of solar energy annually, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 80,000 tCO2e each year. Beyond its environmental impact, the project offers significant local benefits.
