Sonnenbühl, 22. July 2021 - SOWITEC Group sells its Vietnamese operations to Iberdrola whose strong commitment to markets with growth potential in Asia Pacific reinforces a favorable outlook for the final stages of development and implementation of the 550 MW renewable portfolio under development by Sowitec Vietnam, distributed in six projects: five wind farms and a 50 MW floating photovoltaic project.
The projects, with capacity between 50 MW and 250 MW, are scheduled to get their development completed between 2022 and 2024 and will form part of the country's energy strategy, which plans to cover the growth of energy demand, mainly through renewable projects.
SOWITEC has been active in Vietnam since 2017 and founded a local subsidiary: SOWITEC Vietnam. The portfolio is located in various Vietnamese provinces and was developed by the local team of SOWITEC.
Vietnam foresees the installation of more than 20,000 renewable MW before 2030 which will require foreign investment. The country foresees strong growth in electricity demand and GDP and maintains a free trade and foreign investment protection agreement, signed in 2020, with the European Union.
"We are pleased to have found a strong investor for our Vietnamese project portfolio with Iberdrola. This sale is another important milestone and shows once again the great confidence in SOWITEC and in our projects", says Frank Hummel, CEO of SOWITEC.
