Trung Nam Tra Vinh 1 Wind Power Joint Stock Company, installed the last wind tower of the Dong Hai No 1 wind power project in the southern province of Tra Vinh yesterday.

The firm, a member of Trung Nam Group, installed a total of 25 towers in the VND5 trillion (US$217 million) project over the past ten months in an effort to run the first offshore wind power project of the group.

According to the firm, the project with a total capacity of 100MW would add about 330 million kWh of green energy annually, connect to the national grid, help diversify sources and gradually approach the ability to balance sources with fossil fuels, especially in the context of international orientation for a "zero carbon" future.

Starting at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, the firm has used 1,100 engineers and workers for the construction 14km offshore.

Although it was the firm's first offshore wind power project and was carried out during the worst wave of the pandemic, the group said it completed the "dual goals" of effectively preventing the spread of the virus and promoting economic development at the same time. — VNS
