Sustainable Smart Energy Solutions Provider VietNam – Singapore Smart Energy Solutions (VSSES) Opens Headquarters

Vietnam, October 30, 2020 – Vietnam – Singapore Smart Energy Solutions JSC (VSSES), a joint venture between Becamex IDC Corporation (Becamex IDC), Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), and Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park J.V. Co (VSIP JV), held a grand opening today at its new headquarters in Binh Duong Province. This marks a milestone in the company’s commitment towards delivering a new generation of sustainable smart energy solutions in Vietnam.

The opening ceremony of VSSES’s headquarter has opened up a new stepping stone to make smart renewable energy becoming a reality.

Incorporated in June 2020, Vietnam – Singapore Smart Energy Solutions JSC (VSSES) combines the sustainable energy and urban solutions and operational expertise offered by Sembcorp, with the strong local experience and partnerships forged by VSIP and Becamex. VSSES aims to deliver economic and environmental benefits to customers and stakeholders through the provision of best-in-class rooftop solar solutions to VSIP’s various integrated townships and industrial parks, as well as Becamex-owned industrial parks and facilities across Vietnam. Together, this network represents over 1,000 potential business customers eligible for converting to renewable energy through VSSES’s solutions.

VSSES’s interpretation of the future of Vietnam’s industrial parks – clusters of smart industrial parks which tap and share efficient and sustainable energy solutions to support a low-carbon and circular economy

VSSES has built a team of local and regional experts to service customers in Vietnam centrally via its headquarters. The office will also be a centre for training employees on renewable energy operations, including digital applications. Recently, VSSES commenced the construction and installation of approximately 8 megawatt-peak (MWp) of rooftop solar projects in Binh Duong  Province, targeted for completion by end of the year. It also completed a 51 kilowatt-peak (kWp) rooftop solar installation atop the VSIP administrative building in Binh Duong Province in September 2019. The renewable energy to be generated would help lower the carbon footprint for VSSES customers located within the industrial parks.
