Ninh Thuan (VNS/VNA) - Technical operation for 16 wind turbines began ata wind-power farm in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan on May 2.

The turbines will supply 179 million kilowatts per hour (kWh) of electricityper year from the second half of this year.

A source from Trung Nam Group told Viet Nam News that the 16 wind turbines,which were built at the solar-wind power farm complex in the province fromearly this year, were technically qualified in a trial operation on May 2.

The 16-turbine second stage of the project, designed with a capacity of 64Megawatts (MW), will supply renewable energy for the national grid later thisyear.

According to the group, 17 wind turbines were built in the first stage, whichwas completed last April, designed with 40MW to supply 110 million kWh per yearfor the national grid.

It said the wind-power project, which was invested with total capital of 600million USD in three stages, promises to provide more green energy sources forthe country.

A 12-wind turbine farm with 48MW capacity will start construction in the thirdquarter this year.

Trung Nam said it had been speeding up the construction of a solar powerproject with a total capacity of 450MW.

It is expected that the solar-wind power farm complex will supply a total 950million kWh per year for the country’s grid.   

To date, Ninh Thuan has approved 13 wind power projects with a designedcapacity of 680MW. Of the total, three are already operational./.
