Hanoi (VNA) – The Ky Anh wind power plant project has been approved for development across the communes of Ky Xuan, Ky Anh, and Ky Khang in the central province of Ha Tinh, covering both land and offshore areas.
With a total estimated investment of 17.05 trillion VND (over 647 million USD), the project was granted a 50-year operational term from the date of receiving land and sea areas leased by the State.
The wind farm will have a designed capacity of up to 400 MW, expected to generate approximately 1,053.3 GWh of electricity annually, equating to a capacity factor (Cf) of 30.1%. It will occupy around 5.5 hectares of leased land, 825 hectares of sea surface, 19 hectares of temporary land, and 94 hectares of temporary water surface.
The plant will be equipped with 47 wind turbines, each with a capacity ranging from 5 to 8.5 MW. The connection plan includes a 66/500 kV booster substation linked via a 500 kV double-circuit transmission line to the national 500 kV grid, ensuring efficient power transmission.
The entire project is slated for completion and commercial operation by the fourth quarter of 2028. According to the detailed schedule, administrative procedures will be finalised by the third quarter of 2026, and construction will start no later than the fourth quarter of 2026.
The Ha Tinh People’s Committee has assigned the provincial Department of Industry and Trade to act as the lead agency in seeking expressions of interest and selecting investors in line with legal regulations. The department is also tasked with coordinating with relevant sides to thoroughly appraise the project’s feasibility study.
The provincial Department of Finance will assess bidding documents and investor selection results. It will advise the provincial People's Committee on investor approval in cases where there is either a single qualified applicant or multiple applicants with only one meeting the required criteria. The department will also support and monitor project implementation, addressing challenges that arise during execution.
Other departments and agencies are to support the investor to carry out the project in accordance with investment rules, resolve difficulties within their remit, or report problems to competent authorities as needed to ensure smooth progress.
Local authorities in Ky Xuan, Ky Anh, and Ky Khang communes have been instructed to engage with the community, build consensus, and work closely with the investor and relevant bodies on compensation, site clearance, and regulatory procedures related to planning, land use, and environmental protection./.
