The first phase of the Khai Long Wind Farm will have a capacity of 100 MW and is scheduled to begin operations in May 2028, according to developer BCG-Khai Long 1 Wind Power JSC.
The project will cover more than 480 hectares, including 454 hectares offshore, and feature 16 wind turbines, a 35/110kV substation and a 24-km transmission line connecting to the Nam Can 220kV substation.
Once operational, the wind farm is expected to generate about 253 GWh of electricity a year, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 167,000 tonnes annually and contribute VND 40-50 billion a year to the provincial budget.
The developer said the project was designed in line with Vietnam's Power Development Plan VIII and the country's renewable energy strategy.
Authorities said Ca Mau's long coastline and favourable wind conditions made it well suited for wind power development, with clean energy expected to play a key role in supporting economic growth, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening national energy security.
Officials also pledged continued support to help investors complete legal procedures and implement projects on schedule.
In the first half of the year, Ca Mau launched two other wind power projects with a combined investment of nearly VND 7.9 trillion.
