The same day, the first phase of the Trung Nam complex of solar and wind renewable power plants in Thuan Bac district also became operational.

With a total investment of VND10 trillion, the complex’s first phase has a total capacity of 409.95 MW. It is expected to generate 423kWh of wind power and 577 million kWh of solar power per year.

The complex is directly connected to the national grid through the 220kV Thap Cham transformer. This is the first and largest solar and wind renewable power complex in Vietnam so far.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam praised efforts made by investors for completing the cluster and the complex.

He hoped investors would continue to research, invest and develop more renewable energy projects in Ninh Thuan, the locality boasts great potential in this field, towards turning it into a renewable energy centre of the country.
