CME SOLAR WINS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD AT SME100 2021

CME Solar Investments (CMES) is one of the reputable renewable energy investment companies in Vietnam that received the SME100® Asia Award in December 2021

Mr. Chung Diệu Tuấn, Chief Executive Officer of CMES, stated, "We are honored to be selected as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Vietnam this year. This achievement is attributed to the unwavering support and trust from our customers and the dedication of our employees over the past three years. This award serves as motivation for us to continue working diligently in providing our customers with the best renewable energy systems and striving towards sustainable development."

Established in 2018, CMES has solidified its position as one of the leading renewable energy developers in Vietnam. Serving over 100 customers across 20 industries nationwide, CMES has installed over 200 million MWp and generates more than 2GWh of electricity annually. The company is supported by the Oman Vietnam Investment Fund, a joint venture established by the Oman Investment Authority and the Vietnam Investment and State Capital Management Corporation.

CMES is committed to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on eradicating poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring its development aligns with economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In November 2021, CMES entered into a sponsorship agreement with ResponsAbility Investment AG, a leading Swiss fund focusing on sustainably-oriented companies, to further promote their green energy initiatives in the C&I segment in Vietnam. The company aims to enable its customers to directly use green energy through the "Invest without Cost" business model.

As a frontrunner in providing renewable energy solutions, CMES leads the decentralization and carbon reduction movement through the development of the renewable energy sector. The company offers end-to-end solutions, with a robust value chain of Design, Engineering, Procurement, Operation, and Maintenance, ensuring control over project quality, progress, and costs. CMES is at the forefront of maximizing performance and safety, minimizing delays, applying advanced technology, and maintaining a readily available inventory for projects. The company commits to investing 100% in the investment, installation, operation, and maintenance of its solar energy systems while providing customers with lower electricity prices than the national grid.

With such advantages, CMES has become a reliable partner for major projects in Vietnam, including Tan Son Nhat International Airport, Adidas R&D Center, and Hwaseung Vina. The company consistently maintains high standards in construction timelines, annual installation quantities, and criteria for health, safety, and the environment.

These efforts were recognized at the Top Strong Brand Awards 2020-2021 in October 2021, where CMES qualified to receive the Investor award in the Solar Energy - Renewable Energy category for 2021, surpassing 100 nominations nationwide. In November, CMES was honored with the award.
