Bac Lieu Wind Farm

Harnessing coastal wind to power Vietnam with clean energy

Viet Nam
Bac Lieu Wind Farm

Vietnam has experienced a rapid increase in the demand for electricity fuled by economic growth over the past two decades. However, with demand outpacing the current supply, electricity shortages and increasingly regular power cuts are negatively affecting the economy and local livelihoods.

The Solution

The Bac Lieu wind farm involves 62 wind turbines installed in two phases, each with a capacity of 1.6 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 99.2 MW. The project aims to generates approximately 327,826 MWh of clean electricity on average annually, which is fed into the national grid. It hopes to bridge the supply-demand electricity gap, and is an important investment for Vietnams renewable energy supply strategy.

The Impact

The Bac Lieu project has created a number of steady jobs for the operation of the wind farm and supports the local community by funding social activities like sports and cultural events. The project also contributes to charity funds such as Fund for the Poor and Fund for Farmers, which hopes to improve services in surrounding areas; while the tree planting activities promote regional biodiversity. The success of the project helps boost Bac Lieu's provincial economy, as it will contribute to an annual tax payment to the local and State budget. It also paves the way for similar wind power projects in the region, while the upgraded transmission line reduces electricity losses and enhances local supply.
