CHANGCHUN,
China, December. 23, 2019 /PVTIME/ -- On December 20,
2019, SHARP ENERGY SOLUTIONS CORPORATION (SESJ)*1 signed
an agreement with Vietnamese company NSN CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING JSC
(hereinafter “NSN”) on establishing a joint venture company for the
construction of solar power plants. In March 2020, SESJ will acquire 60% of the
shares outstanding of NSN ENERGY SOLUTION JSC, a renewable energy-related
construction company that NSN and others established in March 2019. The newly
acquired company will change its name to SHARP NSN ENERGY SOLUTION JSC.

In recent years, Vietnam is experiencing
rapidly expanding use of renewable energy sources. The establishment of SHARP
NSN ENERGY SOLUTION JSC will allow SHARP to reinforce its organization for
handling all aspects of solar power plant construction—starting from
engineering, procurement to construction—and provide solutions according to
customers’ needs and expand SHARP’s EPC*2 business in
Vietnam.
SHARP NSN ENERGY SOLUTION JSC will also enable
SHARP to strengthen its capability to offer rooftop solar systems, for which
demand is expected to grow for buildings such as factories and commercial
facilities. This way, SHARP will contribute to the further widespread use of
renewable energy.
