. 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
