Starting up the Hai Anh Wind Power project in Quang Tri province

Groundbreaking ceremony for the Hai Anh Wind Power Plant project.

The plant is located in Huong Phung and Tan Thanh communes, Lao Bao town, Huong Hoa district, Quang Tri province. The project with 8 wind turbine towers, a capacity of 5 MW/turbine, a tower height of 125 meters, rotor diameter of 166 - 172 meters. The total investment of the project is more than 1,500 billion VND.

The EPC general contractor is a joint venture of IPC Construction Joint Stock Company (IPC E&C) and Asia Industrial Technology Joint Stock Company (ACIT) taking on the role of supply, design, installation and service for the entire project. When the project comes into operation, it will provide the national electricity system with an average annual electricity output of about 120 GWh/year, generate revenue of more than 200 billion VND/year and contribute about 40 billion VND to the local budget/year.

Hai Anh Wind Power project is expected to operate in September 2024, contributing to overcoming the electricity shortage in the region and the whole country, ensuring energy for the socio-economic development of the province and region.

Speaking at the starting-up ceremony, Mr. Quan Duy Hai Chairman of the Quang Tri - Hai Anh Wind Power Joint Stock Company said that, in the context of poor renewable energy projects, the Hai Anh Wind Power project prepares to standard up is extremely important to the Company.

The investor has chosen a joint venture of EPC general contractors as IPC and ACIT - these are contractors with leading experience and reputation in the field of EPC area of wind power projects.

Besides, the project also receives great support from Vietinbank - Quang Trung Branch and Shanghai Electric Partner.

Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Hung affirmed that, Quang Tri is not only known as a land rich in revolutionary tradition but also a province of full potential for renewable energy development, especially wind energy with its "capital" in the western region of the province.

Up to now, this region has been supplemented with 31 wind power projects, with a total capacity of 1,177.2 MW. Of these, 19 projects have gone into commercial operation with a total capacity of 713.4 MW, and 2 projects with a total capacity of 60 MW are expected to operate commercially in early 2024. The remaining 10 projects with a total capacity of 394 MW are expected for the policy guideline and deploying to invest in commercial operations in 2024 - 2025.

In addition, based on research and assessment of the province's energy development potential, Quang Tri has proposed that the central government add about 4,500 MW of onshore wind power and 2,600 MW of offshore wind power projects to the implementation plan of Power Development Planning VIII. Besides, there are other types of energy (gas, solar, pumped storage hydropower and biomass power...), bringing the total capacity of the Quang Tri province to 16,000 MW.

This is the basis and solid foundation to ensure that the energy industry becomes a breakthrough field in socio-economic development and builds Quang Tri province into an energy center of the Central region.
