TotalEnergies ENEOS Completes 6 Megawatt-Peak Solar Rooftop Project for Chin Well Fasteners in Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, December 19, 2023 – TotalEnergies ENEOS has successfully completed the installation of a 6 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system for Chin Well Fasteners (Vietnam). Chin Well is one of the largest carbon steel fastener producers in the world. Its production facilities in Vietnam manufacture a wide range of fasteners used in power and land infrastructure sectors, will now be powered with about 30% of clean electricity.

This solar rooftop project is part of Chin Well’s commitment to support its customers’ transition to comply with the upcoming CBAN (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism). TotalEnergies ENEOS, known for their quality and robust technical experience in deploying renewable energy solutions on highly technical and complex sites, is chosen to support them in their transition towards clean energy. The project was completed within 4 months.

With over 10,000 of modules installed, the 6 MWp PV system generates approximately 8,900 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, realising significant cost savings for Chin Well and reducing the company’s carbon footprint by about 5,850 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting over 87,700 trees.

Under the agreement, TotalEnergies ENEOS fully funded, installed the solar system, and will operate it while Chin Well will only purchase the electricity produced for 20 years, avoiding any upfront investments.

“We are proud to have completed the solar rooftop project for Chin Well and provide a solution that fulfils both its environmental sustainability and cost-saving goals. As a leading solar service provider for commercial and industrial businesses, TotalEnergies ENEOS commits on the quality and reliability of our operations over the 20 years to provide peace of mind from a technical, financial, and commercial perspective. We look forward to fostering a lasting energy partnership with Chin Well and exploring further collaboration in the future.”, said Elodie Renaud, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia.
