Investors have been asked tomobilise all resources to implement the project promptly and ensure work andenvironment safety.

Vietnam has great potential for windpower, estimated at about 10,000 MW, according to research by the GermanInternational Cooperation Agency (GIZ).

The country needs to switch to renewable energy such as wind and solar power  asit has cancelled its first two nuclear power projects and has startedimplementing commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, experts havesaid.

Only four wind power projects are operating in the country with a totalcapacity of 160 MW, which is far below the huge potential that exists in thecountry.
