Sun Group Corporation and Sustech Inc. announce a strategic partnership for green energy development in Vietnam, starting with the Van Phong Economic Zone in which its development being led by the Sun Group Corporation. The goal of the partnership is to develop optimal solutions for establishing green energy society in the country.

Purpose of the Strategic Partnership

　Implementation of Renewable Power in Vietnam has rapidly expanded since the introduction of the FIT system in the 2010s. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power account for over 20% of power generated in Vietnam (as of December 2023). As the percentage of renewable power expected to increase in parallel with the continued economic growth, optimizing power grid management becomes imperative for further implementation. A solution such as on-site Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), energy battery storage and use of digital technology will be required to effectively manage and mitigate grid loads.

　The Sun Group Corporation has been actively contributing to Vietnam’s economic growth through numerous real estate developments, including Resorts & Entertainment infrastructures in major cities such as Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, and Danang.  The new development project of the Van Phong Economic Zone is located in central Vietnam and aims to create a new landmark for Vietnam, featuring port facilities, tourism infrastructure, and other entertaining facilities in an expansive area of 150,000 hectares.

　By applying Sustech’s in-depth expertise and its proprietary technology “ELIC”, the AI-based solution for managing renewable energy with the world-best-in-class forecasting accuracy, as well as the Sun Group’s extensive experiences in real estate development, this partnership aims to serve as the role model for green energy developments in Vietnam. 

Energy resource management platform ELIC

　ELIC, developed by Sustech, is an AI-based platform designed to provide comprehensive support for the decentralized green energy resources. With ELIC’s excel forecasting capability of renewable power supply and demand, and comprehensive functionality for managing green energy including storage battery control, ELIC can mitigate grid’s imbalance and increase profitability for various stakeholders.
