The central province of Gia Lai is attracting a growing wave of investment in renewable energy, with several large-scale wind power projects securing investors in the first months of 2026.
Benefiting from favorable wind conditions, abundant land resources and a strong commitment to green growth, Gia Lai has become one of the country's most promising destinations for renewable energy development. The recent influx of investment reflects both investor confidence in the province's potential and efforts to implement Vietnam's revised National Power Development Plan VIII.
In late May, provincial authorities approved a consortium comprising ANI Power, Song Da 505 and Trang Duc Solar Power as the investor for the Chu Pong Wind Power Plant project in Bo Ngoong Commune. The project carries a total investment of more than VND1.6 trillion ($62 million) and is expected to begin construction in December 2026 before entering commercial operation in early 2028.
Earlier in April, another consortium was selected to develop the 42-MW Nhon Hoa 4 Wind Power Plant, with total investment estimated at VND1.68 trillion.
Meanwhile, VinEnergo, a member of Vietnam's leading conglomerate Vingroup, became the investor for the Hon Trau Phase 1 and Vinh Thuan wind power projects, which have a combined investment exceeding VND53 trillion.
By the end of 2025, Gia Lai had 87 renewable and hydropower projects commercially operated, including 17 wind farms with a combined capacity of 916 MW, reinforcing its position as one of Vietnam's leading renewable energy centers.
