Vietnam: First phase of Phu Lac Wind Power Plant inaugurated

A ceremony was held on November 25 in Phu Lac Commune of Tuy Phong District
in the south central province of Binh Thuan to inaugurate the first phase of
Phu Lac Wind Power Plant.

Covering an area of 400 hectares, the construction of the plant began in
July 2015, with a total investment of nearly VND1.1 trillion, of which 85%
funded by German Reconstruction Bank (KfW).

During the first phase, the plant will use twelve turbines under the
modernist technology of Denmark's Vestas brand, with a total capacity of
24MW.

In September, the plant went into commercial operation and successfully
joined the national grid, supplying around 200,000 KWh of electricity.

Through the operation of Phu Lac wind power plant, Vietnam Electricity can
make specific proposals to the Government on developing policies related to
renewable energy as well as the development of wind power in Vietnam.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Kranz Plote, a representative of the
German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, emphasised
that the German side would continue to support Vietnam in reaching great
targets in the field of renewable energy.

Vice Chairman of the Binh Thuan Province People's Committee Luong Van Hai
said that the province has a great potential and strong assets for the
development of clean energy, particularly wind and solar power.

He hoped that the Government and relevant ministries and agencies would
pursue and employ reasonable policies and mechanisms to accelerate the
implementation of projects in the locale.

The facility is the third operational wind power plant in Binh Thuan,
together with those in Tuy Phong and Phu Quy Districts, increasing the
province's total wind power capacity from 36MW to 60MW.

Since joining the national grid, the plant has supplied 9.5 million kWh.
