Searefico will introduce all potential projects for investment in and/or development to Shire Oak International. For all such projects, Searefico will be engaged as EPC contractor by Shire Oak International. 

Speaking of the partnership, Mr. Mark Shorrock stated: “It is wonderful to see potential cooperation between Searefico Corporation and Shire Oak International. The wisdom of the generation like the Searefico team together with the dynamism of Vietnam is transforming this country from a country with coal power stations to a country leading the renewable trend. At COP26, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh made a bold statement that Vietnam committed to being zero-carbon ahead of the rest of Asia. This determination created a transformational opportunity for a company like Searefico and a company like Shire Oak International. We can come along, showing the Prime Minister how we do it. We can work together to raise FDI funds while Searefico can bring all the amazing potential clients.

Apart from the profits, I want to address the positive impact we can come together to create. I understand that Searefico empowers its people to make a positive change under the principles of sustainable development on a constant basis. In addition, giving back to society is also in Searefico’s DNA. During Covid-19, Searefico did the zero-Dong supermarket donations. It is lovely to see all that free flow of energy positive energy which is in line with Shire Oak International’s values.  

I have great confidence in our cooperation which will create positive impacts on Vietnam, Asia, and the world.” 

Mr. Le Tan Phuoc, Chairman of Searefico Group shared: “Our government made a strong commitment about the transition to renewable energy. When it comes to renewable energy, Vietnam is among the top 10 fast-growing countries. In just 3 years, solar energy has gone from making up 0% to 24% of the total shared electricity. Indeed, Vietnam is contributing to a greener planet.
