Chung Jye Powers Vietnam with 10MW Rooftop Solar System
Chung Jye Footwear Group is making significant strides in its commitment to sustainability by implementing a 10MW rooftop solar power system across its manufacturing facilities in Vietnam. This initiative aims to increase the use of renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, and align with global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
The company recently signed a cooperation agreement with Viet Sang Renewable Energy Company and TJ Capital Co., Ltd. on April 24, 2026, to develop this solar power system. The project is part of Chung Jye's long-term strategy for sustainable production and energy transition. It is expected to boost the share of renewable energy used in its production processes and help meet stricter sustainability requirements from international brand partners, particularly regarding renewable electricity usage within supply chains.

According to Chung Jye, the adoption of green energy solutions will enhance its ESG performance and strengthen its competitiveness as global brands increasingly prioritize low-carbon manufacturing partners. Hsu Chun-Wei, general director of Viet Sang Renewable Energy Company, stated that the rooftop solar system will be installed across Chung Jye's factories in Vietnam and is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2026.
With a total installed capacity of 10MWp, the system is projected to generate around 10.95 million kWh of clean electricity annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 5,500 tons of CO2 each year.

A representative from Viet Sang mentioned that participating in large-scale renewable energy projects in Vietnam is part of the company's long-term strategy to expand its technology portfolio, strengthen execution capabilities, and grow its market presence. As demand for green electricity rises, the company is also reinforcing its governance structure and financial capacity to support future expansion.
Yen-Liang Lai, executive vice president of Chung Jye Footwear Group, described the project as a key step toward the company's 2030 net-zero target. "This project is a critical milestone toward our 2030 net-zero vision, demonstrating our efforts to integrate sustainability into core operations," he said. "By optimizing the energy structure of our Vietnam manufacturing hubs, we are addressing global brand partners' demand for low-carbon supply chains."
Representing TJ Capital, Ho Chun-Hung highlighted the company's commitment to delivering stable and efficient green energy solutions while supporting the transition toward a net-zero economy. TJ Capital has developed and is building solar projects across Taiwan, Vietnam, and other Asian markets, with a total expected capacity exceeding 100MW.
The company plans to expand further across the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on project management and quality control to ensure long-term operational performance. This expansion reflects a broader trend in the region, where companies are increasingly investing in renewable energy to meet growing environmental demands and regulatory expectations.
