Wind farm spanning 600 hectares of land and sea breaks ground at Vietnam's southern tip
Work on construction of a 50MW wind power plant began in Vietnam's southernmost province of Ca Mau on Aug. 11.
A wind farm spanning 600 hectares, including both land and sea, has begun construction at Vietnam's southernmost region. The project, valued at VND2.5 trillion (US$96 million), involves a 13-kilometer 110kV transmission line, a 63MVA step-up substation, medium-voltage underground cable systems, and wind turbines and their foundations.
Once completed, the plant is expected to produce an average of 144 million kWh of electricity annually. Pham Minh Tri, General Director of Song Lam - Ca Mau Energy JSC, expressed confidence in the project's timely completion and commitment to fulfilling its obligations to the state and local community.
Ca Mau, surrounded by seas on three sides, possesses considerable potential for wind power development. The provincial People's Committee Vice Chairman, Huynh Chi Nguyen, urged the investor to allocate maximum financial, human, and equipment resources to ensure the project's quality and progress. He emphasized the plant's projected launch by Q4 2028, strict adherence to investment regulations, prioritization of local workers, and commitment to corporate social responsibilities, all of which will contribute to economic development, environmental protection, and enhanced living standards for local residents.
Since the beginning of the year, Ca Mau has initiated three wind power projects, with a combined investment exceeding VND10 trillion. The province views clean energy development as a crucial catalyst for economic growth, aligning with the objectives of green growth, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and bolstering national energy security.
