The second phase of Trung Nam wind power in the central province of Ninh Thuan began operations and was connected to the national grid last week.

The plant’s second stage includes 16 wind turbines with a capacity of 4MW each, installed by Trung Nam Construction and Engineering JSC under the direction by Enercon GmbH - a German supplier of wind turbines and components.

The project is set to generate 182 million kWh of electricity per year.

Nguyen Tam Thinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Trung Nam Construction Investment Corporation, said the project is expected to be put into full operation in the first quarter of next year.

The construction of the plant began in August 2016 with total investment of VND3.96 trillion (more than US$170.8 million).

The plant was designed with a capacity of 90 – 100 MW. Its first phase was completed in 2018. — VNS
