POWERCHINA, Trungnam Group ink EPC contract for 916 MW wind power project in Vietnam
Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) and Vietnam’s Trungnam Group recently signed an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract for a 916-MW wind power project cluster in the Southeast Asian country.
The deal was signed in Hanoi on November 30 in the presence of POWERCHINA chairman Ding Yanzhang and Trungnam Group CEO Nguyen Tam Tien, the Chinese firm said in a statement on its website, without giving further details.

The two parties had in-depth discussions on deepening cooperation in the energy and power fields.
POWERCHINA has built a large number of clean energy projects in Vietnam, with a total installed capacity of 5,540 megawatts, making POWERCHINA the largest electricity EPC enterprise in the Vietnamese market for five consecutive years.
In the Mekong Delta province of Can Tho, a waste-to-energy plant was constructed by POWERCHINA, turning 400 tons of household wastes into electricity daily and providing approximately 60 million kWh of electricity.
In an op-ed published on Nhan Dan newspaper on December 12, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and Chinese President Xi Jinping noted that the largest overseas photovoltaic industrial cluster that Chinese businesses have constructed to date is in Vietnam. This, together with wind power stations built by Chinese companies, has greatly helped with the transformation of energy use in Vietnam.
