(Source: VNA) According to PTSC General Director Le Manh Cuong, the firm is capable of providing transformer station and base manufacturing services for offshore wind power projects, and its capacity can meet international partners’ demand.
Recently, PTSC has been chosen by international offshore wind power developers to participate in their supply chains.
In May 2023, PTSC won the bid and signed a contract with Orsted Group to manufacture and supply 33 wind power bases for CHW2204 offshore wind farm project in Taiwan (China) which has a total capacity of 920 MW. PTSC has also signed and implemented contracts to design and manufacture nine offshore substations (OSS) for offshore wind power projects in Taiwan (China) and Europe (Baltic Sea region).
These projects have a total contract value of about 1.5 billion USD. All the supplies are manufactured in Vietnam.
In 2023, PTSC was also chosen by the Singaporean Government to partner with Sembcorp in developing a 2.3GW offshore wind power project to export electricity to Singapore through a submarine cable system.

In late August 2023, PTSC became the first and only in Vietnam to be licenced by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to fully deploy monitoring, investigation, survey and assessment activities of marine resources.
In October 2023, PTSC's partner Sembcorp was also granted a conditional electricity import licence from the Singapore Energy Market Management Authority (EMA).
Cuong revealed that in 2024, PTSC will conduct offshore surveys./.
