With total investment of 63.69 million USD, its construction is set to have two phases. In the first phase, a 50MW solar plant will be built on over 60 hectares of land on the southern side of Phuong Mai mountain in the Nhon Hoi economic zone. It is expected to be operational in February 2019.
The second phase will see a 50MW wind-power plant constructed on the Nui Ba mountain’s side in Phu Cat district. Spanning 200 – 250 hectares, the facility is expected to operate in 2020.-VNA
