Representatives of Schneider Electric Vietnam and the Department of Industry and Trade of the central Quang Binh Province have recently signed a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) agreement for the construction of a solar powered grid system in the province.

The project, sponsored by the Quang Binh Province, Energy Assistance France and the Schneider Electric Foundation will consist of a solar power station that can provide electricity for 35 households, a school, a border guard barracks and several agencies in Bo Trach District.

It is estimated that the project will be put into operation by June this year.
