Bac Lieu Province hopes to attract wind energy investment

Duong Thanh Trung, chair of Bac Lieu People’s Committee, announced that it hopes to add more wind power projects with a capacity of 99.2 MW of renewable energy capacity over the next few years.

But this target can only be reached if Bac Lieu Province can find foreign direct investment from companies such as those from the ROK to fund the projects, he told a contingent of ROK companies at a conference.

Mr Trung, said he believes that wind power projects are viable due to the largely untapped 56-km coastline of the province, which provide strong stable winds year around that are conducive to developing wind as well as solar power generators.
