Vietnam’s Bamboo Capital signs EPC contract with China firms for waste-to-energy project
Vietnam’s Bamboo Capital Group (BCG) and two Chinese companies have signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the former’s Tam Sinh Nghia waste-to-energy plant project in Ho Chi Minh City.

Zhu Xiaoping, COO of SUS Environment, said the cooperation among the parties in the project is expected to make a significant contribution to Vietnam's environmental protection and energy transition.
Phase 1, with an investment of VND6.4 trillion ($256.6 million), will enable the waste-to-energy plant, located in Cu Chi district, to incinerate 2,000-2,600 tons of waste per day, equivalent to 20-25% of the city's waste discharge.
BCG Energy, a subsidiary of Bamboo Capital Group, acquired Tam Sinh Nghia Investment and Development Company on January 31, 2024, officially entering the waste-to-energy sector.
BCG Energy started construction of the Tam Sinh Nghia plant in July, aiming to address the city's growing waste management challenges while generating clean energy.
