Update news offshore power
The eighth national power development plan (Plan 8) was released many months ago, but policies to implement the plan still need supplementation and improvement.
Existing staff working in the oil sector, building construction on the sea, electricity plants and marine industry can move to work in various technical positions in the offshore wind sector.
Vietnam’s offshore wind power is expected to reach around 6,000 MW by 2030, with potential for further growth given rapid technological development, reasonable electricity prices, and transmission costs.
The strategy for renewable energy development being in limbo is holding back offshore wind power prospects in Vietnam.
The longest 220kV offshore overhead power transmission line in Southeast Asia, connecting the mainland of the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang and its resort island of Phu Quoc, will be put into operation in September.
