The combined capacity of all power plants is expected to reach 59,318 MW by 2025 and 90,512 MW by 2030, with wind power contributing 18.5% of the total capacity.
Meanwhile, Soc Trang province, with a coastline of 72 kilometers, has a wind power potential of 1,470 MW in three areas covering 37,340 hectares.
Super Energy recorded revenue of THB1,091.9 million ($29.7 million) from its renewable energy business in Vietnam in the first quarter of 2024, up 1.6% year-on-year, according to the firm’s quarterly report.
Super Energy’s nine solar power projects in Vietnam, with a combined capacity of 836.72 MW, earned revenue of THB854.4 million ($23.3 million), up 1.53% year-on-year.
