Vietnam to become the center for offshore wind energy

Tin tức

Though coal remains the dominant source of

in Vietnam, other sources of energy, such as , have enormous potential. On this front, Vietnam has already achieved progress in terms of boosting its energy generation capacity and appropriately planning for future expansions.

relevant , Vietnam's potential offshore wind power capacity is estimated to be approximately 160 . In November, the prepared a plan to raise the country's offshore wind generating capacity to 4 GW by 2030, a 1 GW increase over the previously planned capacity.

More specifically, Vietnam's offshore wind capacity is expected to increase to 10 GW by 2035, 23 GW by 2040, and 36 GW by 2045. Based on such

, offshore wind power will potentially 2.6 percent of total energy capacity in 2030 and four times that (10.8 percent) in 2045. Offshore wind energy, according to Ms. Liming Qiao, Asia Director of the , can help cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. Because of the significant wind resources in Vietnam, offshore wind projects may provide more than 50% of the capacity of .
