The project, named Nexif Energy Khanh Hoa 1 Wind Power, is expected to generate 312,500 MWh of clean energy annually, helping local businesses and citizens, including 100 jobs.
Nexif Ratch Energy obtained a survey license in May 2021 and installed two on-site met masts in January 2022 and March 2023. It is set to become the first wind power project in Khanh Hoa. Along with nine solar projects in operation, the wind power project can significantly improve the province’s energy mix from renewable resources.
The project indicates Khanh Hoa's ambition to become a leading economic hub in Vietnam by 2030 and Nexif Ratch Energy’s commitment to expanding its renewable projects in Vietnam, the firm said in the statement.
In Vietnam, the company owns and operates two hydropower projects and has various onshore wind and solar power projects.
