Hanoi (VNA) – The German and Denmarkembassies and the German international cooperation agency co-organised aworkshop on wind power development in Vietnam.

Vietnam aims to generate 800 MW of wind power by2020 and 6,000 MW by 2030.

However, the development of wind power remainsslow. Only seven projects with total capacity of 190 MW have been put intooperation.

Deputy head of the department for electricityand renewable energy under the Ministry of Industry and Trade Nguyen Van Thanhattributed the slow development to the difficult use of land and capital,restrictions in accessing new technologies, and unattractive wind power prices.

The ministry hoped to hear experience fromrenewable energy groups, companies and experts to develop wind and solar powerin different areas, thus giving advice to the Government in mapping outelectricity development plans and strategies to ensure energy security andemission reduction.

It also expected to receive the active supportfrom the German and Danish governments and international organisations inbuilding plans to develop the energy sector in general and renewable energy inparticular.

Steve Sawyer, Secretary General ofGlobal Wind Energy Council (GWEC), hoped to support Vietnam in gaining benefitsfrom wind power as a clean energy with reasonable prices to serve the country’seconomic growth, energy security, cutting-edge technology development, and jobgeneration.

The council said it is willing to assist Vietnamin further developing the wind power sector and suggested the Southeast Asiancountry establish a competent national wind power association to tap themaximum benefits from this abundant natural resource.

According to representatives from the Germaninternational cooperation agency, Vietnam should standardise trade contractsfor wind power projects and simplify procedures for project approval.-VNA
