XI'AN, China, Nov. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

LONGi, the world leading solar technology headquartered in Xi'an, China, is

happy to announce that it has successfully supplied its Hi-MO 4 Series modules

for Southeast Asia's largest solar plant, Phase I of the Xuan Thien Ea Sup

Project in Dak Lak, Vietnam. Commissioned by Xuan Thien Group on November 15,

2020, the 600 MWac / 831 MWp utility-scale solar plant is estimated to have an

electricity output of 1.5 billion kWh per year.

With nearly 2 million solar panels, 500 kV / 1,200 MVA transformer station and

22.2 km of 500 kV line, this is so far the largest solar power plant in

Southeast Asia. The plant, which has been set up at an estimated cost of 20,000

billion dong, has been commissioned five months earlier than the scheduled date

of completion due to joint efforts by the developers, logistics partners and

equipment suppliers including LONGi. Construction of this plant started in April 2020

and LONGi signed an agreement to supply 273 MW of its modules to be used for

the project in May 2020. LONGi completed the delivery much before the deadline.

Numerous projects to build large solar power facilities are underway in

Vietnam, as the country works towards bridging its anticipated power shortage

with green energy. Dak Lak province, located in Vietnam's Central Highlands, is

blessed with ample sunshine and abundant idle land -- is highly suitable for

solar power generation. Xuan Thien Group, therefore, plans to scale up the

capacity of this plant to 2,000 MWac / 2,800 MWp by early 2022, providing about

5 billion kWh per year for the national electricity system.

Dennis She, SVP of LONGi Solar, commented, "We are proud as well as excited to

be a part of this grand project by the Xuan Thien Group, offering our trusted

mono-crystalline innovations. LONGi believes that technology innovations will

further drive solar power cost optimization, enabling us to drive a dramatic

shift in the regional energy landscape through more such partnerships."

This landmark project indicates LONGi's shared ambition towards the

sustainability of the booming Southeast Asian market. As one of the world's

Tier 1 solar manufacturers, LONGi has joined all three of Climate Group's RE

initiatives: RE100, EV100 and EP100, as part of its green corporate

responsibility in global climate action. Moving forward, LONGi seeks to promote

the global energy transition with global partners and customers, by providing

its high-efficiency mono-crystalline solar modules around the whole world.
