Having provided full sets of equipment and general contracting services to more than a hundred countries and regions around the globe, DEC has been featured on the ENR list of the world's 250 biggest international engineering contractors since 1994.
Vietnam is one of the most robust and promising economies in Southeast Asia, and also one of the key overseas markets of the Dongfang Electric Corporation. For nearly two decades, DEC has extensively participated in the growth of hydropower, wind energy, solar power and other renewable energies in Vietnam, having constructed a cumulative total of 37 renewable power plants, and provided over a hundred generator sets of all sorts, with installed capacity of DEC hydroelectricity generators accounting for over 12.6% of total in Vietnam.
Renewable power plants under construction and in operation at present can help Vietnam slash 3.3 million tons of standard coal, reduce nine million tons of carbon dioxide emission, and decrease 2,700 tons of sulfides discharged each year, contributing immensely to Vietnam's carbon-neutral goals and its transition toward becoming a greener and more low-carbon society.
