78MW Wind Power Plan
TRA VINH, VIETNAM
PLANT DESCRIPTION
In 2018, Janakuasa decided to pivot towards greener energy projects to support global green energy initiatives. As a result, Janakuasa has secured the right to build, operate and maintain a 78 MW wind power plant in the province of Tra Vinh Vietnam.
The plant consists of 18 wind turbines totalling 78 MW near-shore Hiep Thanh Wind Power Plant (“Tra Vinh II”) located in Hiep Thanh, Tra Vinh Province, South Vietnam. Tra Vinh II will have a high development impact in terms of local sustainable development and will play a key role in Vietnam’s contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (UN SDGs).
Tra Vinh II will be of special importance to providing additional renewable energy capacity and creation of employment in a remote area where there are limited opportunities for employment.
This project was developed by Janakuasa and its partners.
PLANT OVERVIEW
