After the merger of the former provinces Vinh Long, Tra Vinh, and Ben Tre, the new Vinh Long Province has quickly emerged as a renewable energy hotspot in Vietnam — especially in wind power development.
With a 130 km-long coastline and strong average wind speeds above 6 m/s, Vinh Long owns exceptional natural advantages for both onshore, nearshore, and offshore wind projects, thanks to its flat seabed and moderate water depths.
Responding to the Government’s Renewable Energy Strategy, the province is taking bold steps to attract investors and turn its abundant wind resources into a sustainable growth engine — making renewable energy one of the key pillars of its green economic development.
⚡ Breakthrough Discussions for a Green & Circular Future
On October 8, 2025, Vinh Long Province, in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Finance, and related agencies, hosted the seminar “Renewable Energy in the Mekong Delta – Breakthroughs in Developing a Green and Circular Economy.”
The event gathered provincial leaders, policymakers, and energy experts to discuss key challenges and solutions for wind power development — from investment procedures and supply chain readiness to grid capacity and power release.
These discussions aim to accelerate the implementation of new wind power projects, including offshore wind farms identified under the Revised National Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8).
Expert Insights from VATEC
At the event, Mr. Tran Truong Han, Vice Chairman of the Members’ Council of VATEC Energy Consulting Co., Ltd., shared his perspective:
“Over a decade ago, when we prepared the wind power plans for Ben Tre and Tra Vinh, offshore wind was only considered at the potential level. Today, those early studies have become invaluable foundations for Vinh Long to develop detailed projects — bringing great value not only to the energy sector but also to national maritime security and future energy exports.”
VATEC is proud to be a technical consulting firm specialized in renewable energy, providing feasibility studies, basic and detailed designs, and specialized research for many wind power projects in Vinh Long Province — several of which have already achieved stable commercial operation.
VATEC will continue accompanying the province, partners, and investors to realize the vision of turning Vinh Long into a national leader in green and circular economic growth.
