The joint venture focuses on rooftop solar power, serving demand for sustainable and clean energy among businesses and plants in industrial parks and export processing zones across the country.
So far, BCG-SP Greensky has had 71 MW installed. In 2022-2025, the firm targets at least 500 MW of rooftop solar power installed, as part of its target to become a leading rooftop solar power developer in Vietnam.
