Untapped Potential: Mapping Vietnam''s Wind Energy Resources
This article explores the current state of wind energy in Vietnam, maps out its resources, and discusses the challenges
Significant wind power projects currently underway include the Phu Cuong Soc Trang Offshore Wind Farm, the La Gan Offshore Wind Farm, Bac Lieu Wind Power Phase III, Hoa Binh 5 Wind Power Plant, and the Mui Ne Wind Farm. What's next?
This is one of the largest offshore wind projects in Vietnam, being developed by Mainstream Renewable Power in collaboration with local partners. Located off the coast of Soc Trang province, the project has a planned capacity of up to 1,400 MW. It will be developed in multiple phases, with the first phase expected to provide 400 MW of capacity.
In recent years, Vietnam has emerged as a significant player in the renewable energy sector, with a particular focus on wind power. As the country strives to meet its ambitious clean energy goals, a new industry is taking root: local wind turbine manufacturing.
Foreign companies involved in Vietnam's wind power industry include Siemens Gamesa (Germany/Spain), Mainstream Renewable Power (Ireland), Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) (Denmark), and The Blue Circle (Singapore), bringing technology, investment, and expertise.
