Spanning 14 ha in the communes of Vinh Thinh, Vinh My A, and Vinh Hau, the Kosy Bac Lieu wind power plant consists of 45 turbines with a combined capacity of over 200 MW.
In the first of the three-phase project, nine turbines, whose total capacity reaches 40 MW, will be built at a cost of more than 1.5 trillion VND.
