Hoa Phat Long An Steel Pipe Company is nearly 40% self-sufficient in electricity production thanks to rooftop solar power.

From January to November 2025, the first phase of the rooftop solar power system at Hoa Phat Long An Steel Pipe Factory will generate over 2.5 million kWh, contributing to nearly 40% self-sufficiency in the factory's electricity production.

Rooftop solar power system at Hoa Phat Long An Steel Pipe Factory

Rooftop solar power is a key project of Hoa Phat Long An Steel Products Joint Stock Company, implemented from the end of 2024 in two phases. The project is being implemented on the roofs of 4 factory buildings.

Phase 1 of the project will officially begin operation in January 2025. Phase 2 is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025. Upon completion, the total capacity of the entire project is expected to reach 7 million kWh, meeting approximately 50% of the electricity demand for production activities.

For optimal operation, the system utilizes inverter technology integrated with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithms. This technology converts solar radiation into electricity with the highest efficiency, synchronizing it with the factory's internal power grid, significantly reducing the load on the national grid and increasing the company's energy independence.

In addition to the Long An project, Hoa Phat began implementing a rooftop solar power project at the Dung Quat Iron and Steel Production Complex in mid-November 2025. Phase 1 of the project will have a capacity of 6.5 million kWh, while Phase 2 will have a capacity of 30 million kWh, with both phases expected to be completed by June 2026. Once operational, the system will maximize the use of natural energy sources, contributing to reduced emissions and improved operational efficiency at the plant.

Currently, Hoa Phat is 90% self-sufficient in electricity for production at its iron and steel production complexes through various solutions such as: waste heat recovery, environmentally friendly dry coke quenching, application of continuous casting and rolling technology, etc.
