Vietnam, Binh Dinh: The People’s Committee of Binh Dinh province has approved the investment policy for the Van Canh Binh Dinh wind power plant, with a total estimated capital of over $218 M (VND5.7 T), under Decision No.1955/QĐ-UBND. A bidding process to select the project’s investor will now follow.
The 143 MW onshore wind farm will be located in Canh Lien commune, Van Canh district, spanning nearly 50 ha. Once operational, it is expected to generate approximately 391.8 million kWh annually, contributing significantly to Vietnam’s clean energy goals and local energy security.
A key technical component of the project includes a 110 kV step-up substation at the site, with a capacity of (2×63 + 1×40) MVA, and a 26-km double-circuit 110 kV transmission line to connect the plant to the existing Van Canh 110 kV substation, ensuring smooth integration into the national grid.
The project is scheduled for completion within three years from the official recognition of the investor and will operate under a 50-year license. Approximately $947,000 (VND 24.7 B) is earmarked for compensation and resettlement.
Authorities emphasize that the investor must avoid using natural forest, defense, or residential land and must secure aeronautical height clearance for structures exceeding 45 m.
In parallel, Binh Dinh is also attracting global interest with the Hon Trau offshore wind project, led by Germany’s PNE Group, which is under study and could reach 2,000 MW capacity with an investment of $4.6 B.
