PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) solar power is a flexible collaboration model that Vu Phong Energy Group pioneered in late 2019 and early 2020. This model, with the participation of foreign investment funds, helps businesses to use clean energy at a low cost without investing capital, just taking advantage of the idle roof of the factory. Furthermore, these solar power systems produce and use their electricity, they do not place a strain on the power transmission – distribution grid system. Aside from employing solar power for green manufacturing, businesses may avoid future energy cost risks owing to long-term collaboration contracts. It also reflects the parties’ efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, such as Goal 7 – Affordable and clean energy, Goal 8 – Decent work and economic growth, Goal 13 – Climate action, and Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals.
