It aims to explore the potential of wind energy in Vietnam by creating an interactive database to assess the impact of wind energy development and zoning plans for wind power generation.

The project is expected to utilise cutting-edge wind energy technology, and increase the national capacity of Vietnam in wind energy development and management.

PM Dung asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to arrange Vietnam’s counterpart capital and ensure the implementation schedule of the project in accordance with current regulations.
