Da Nhim - Ham Thuan - Da Mi Hydro Power Joint Stock Company (DHD) - Da Mi Floating Solar Photovoltaic Power Facility

Da Nhim - Ham Thuan - Da Mi Hydro Power Joint Stock Company (DHD), a subsidiary of the Vietnam Electricity (EVN) Power Generation Corporation 1, owns and operates four hydropower plants: Da Mi, Ham Thuan (300 MW), Da Nhim (160 MW), and Song Pha (7.5 MW). DHD's total generation capacity is 642.5 MW, about 1.7 percent of Vietnam's total capacity. This project aligns with DHD's strategy of investing in renewable energy to decrease dependence on fossil fuel, contribute to energy security, mitigate climate change, and promote environmental protection and sustainable socio-economic development. Hydropower reservoirs in southern Vietnam have vast solar power potential. This project will help to boost the share of renewable energy in Vietnam's overall energy mix and decrease the dependence on imported fossil fuels such as coal. The pairing of these two clean energy technologies - hydropower and solar - is a simple but highly innovative achievement, which can be replicated elsewhere in Vietnam and across Asia and the Pacific. The project of solar plant in the Da Mi hydropower reservoir in Binh Thuan province is aimed to add clean energy for the National electricity system, meet to demand electricity network in general, and Binh Thuan Province in particular. The other goal of the project shall be one of the first solar projects in Viet Nam, contribute to developing clean energy from solar. This complies already with the development trend of the government, MOIT, and EVN.
