Siemens Gamesa turbines for Vietnam onshore wind farm
Siemens Gamesa is to supply 25 wind turbines for the Hoa Thang 1.2 wind farm, one of the largest in Vietnam.
With a total capacity of 113 MW, the project will generate enough electricity to meet the demands of over 240,000 Vietnamese citizens following its commissioning next year.
Vietnam is said to have some of the best onshore wind resources in Southeast Asia and its fast-growing economy has an electricity demand rise of around 10% annually. The country’s government estimates that total power generating capacity will reach 125 GW by 2030, up from 46 GW in 2018.
In order to mitigate climate concerns, the government has also established a target of developing 6 GW of wind power capacity by 2030.
