India’s Hero Future Energies Asia Pte.Ltd on Wednesday proposed developing a solar power project in the southern province of Binh Phuoc.

During a working session with the provincial People’s Committee, the company pledged to implement the project within three months after receiving an investment licence.

The committee vice chairman Huynh Thi Hang said provincial authorities would facilitate the plant’s development. However, she noted that solar power projects with capacity of under 50 MW are approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade while those with capacity of more than 50 MW need the Prime Minister’s approval.

Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade Nguyen Anh Hoang highlighted the province’s high heat radiation and long sunshine hours, good conditions for solar power. — VNS
