The project was designed and implemented by the SESJ-SSSA-NSN consortium, which has a wealth of experience in implementing similar projects such as Phong Dien, Ham Phu 2, and Phuoc Ninh solar power plants.

Besides, under the strict management and supervision of Bureau Veritas from France, My Hiep Solar Power Plant did not only achieve the commercial operation date on schedule to enjoy the feed-in tariff (FiT) rate of 7.09 US cents per kWh but also satisfied all criteria for safety, technology, and quality during its 20-year lifespan.

After nearly six months of construction and installation, withstanding weather challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic, My Hiep Solar Power Plant was officially energised on December 11, 2020. The plant is expected to provide the national grid with 82 million kWh of electricity a year, contributing to reducing CO2 emissions to the environment by about 54,000 tonnes a year.
