The People's Committee of Son La Province in Vietnam's northern mountainous region, in collaboration with the Northern Wind Energy JSC, on June 11 held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Risen Phu Yen Wind Power Plant.
The project has a total capacity of 80 MW and represents an investment of VND2,941 billion (nearly $114 millino). It is located within the administrative boundaries of Muong Coi and Phu Yen communes in the northwestern province.
This is the first wind power project to break ground in the country's Northern mountainous region, marking a significant milestone in tapping into the Northwest's renewable energy potential. Spanning approximately 46.4 ha, the plant has an operational lifespan of 50 years.
The project is scheduled for completion and is expected to enter commercial operation by the third quarter of 2028.
Once operational, the plant is projected to contribute over 250 million kWh annually to the national power grid.
