The project had a total investment of 145,000 EUR, of which 90 percent came from the German government.
Under the project, solar panels are installed in the Song Hoai square, capable of producing 51kWh of electricity for lighting and decorations for entertainment activities like street arts, folk games, decorative lanterns, and the Cau bridge relic.

In addition, it also will encourage the use of renewable energy and help to mitigate impacts of climate change, as well as develop sustainable tourism of Hoi An, turning it into an eco city.-VNA
