German firm eyes offshore wind power project in Binh Dinh
VOV.VN - Representatives from PNE, a multinational corporation based in Germany, have taken part in a working session alongside leaders of the Binh Dinh province People's Committee to develop a US$1.5 billion wind power project in the locality.
Tran Minh, senior manager of the Offshore Wind Power project at PNE AG, said the group is keen to gain insights into various policies in order to encourage wind power energy development in the province, in addition to procedures that will eventually see the project gain approval.
Nguyen Phi Long, Vice Chairman of the Binh Dinh provincial People's Committee, emphasised that the local government is striving to create the perfect conditions in which PNE group can invest in the local wind power energy sector.
Marko Walde, head of the working group of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam, said that the implementation of the wind power park project in Binh Dinh is anticipated to transform the country into a competitive wind power supplier in both the region and across the globe.
Domestically, wind power and solar power projects are still being considered as alternative solutions for the over exploitation of hydroelectricity, which has caused a range of serious consequences for the environment.
At present, Vietnam is home to approximately 30 wind power projects which are either in operation or under construction.
PNE is a leading multinational corporation that has 20 years of experience in developing onshore and offshore wind power projects. The group has expanded into South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, including offshore wind power park projects located in Vietnam.
