The sea has the most potential for wind power development in Vietnam

If wind power is invested and developed to gradually replace coal power, Vietnam can reduce emissions by more than 200 million tons of CO2.

The survey results of the World Bank's Energy Assessment Program for Asia show that Vietnam is the country with the largest wind potential in Southeast Asia with a total wind power potential estimated at 513,360MW, 20 times higher than the capacity of wind power. capacity of Son La hydropower plant - the power plant with the largest capacity in Vietnam, and 10 times the total forecasted capacity of Vietnam's electricity industry by 2020.

In the report on offshore wind energy potential in Vietnam's sea areas by the General Department of Hydrometeorology, the sea areas with the best ability to exploit wind energy are Binh Dinh to Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan to Ca Mau. and part of the central sea area of ​​the Gulf of Tonkin. In particular, the area from Ninh Thuan to Ba Ria Vung Tau has a very good wind potential with an annual average wind speed of 8-10m/s, and a common annual average energy density of 600-700W/m2.

Wind power is a renewable energy source with great development prospects, which can be installed at offshore wind farms on large seas. The advantage of wind energy is its ability to generate more electricity because wind speeds over the ocean are usually more stable and stronger than on land. Moreover, the deployment of offshore wind farms has little or no impact on people's lives. In addition, the development of offshore wind technology is helping to reduce capital, installation and operating costs.
