Ninh Thuan (VNA) – Boasting huge potential for renewable powerdevelopment, the south central coastal province of Ninh Thuan is working tolure investments in the sector, aiming to become Vietnam’s clean energy centre.
The province is relatively safe from storm while boasting good wind resourceswith wind speed of between 6.4-9.6 metres per second for 10 months a year,which is a favourable condition for developing wind energy.
Surveys show 14 wind potential areas of about 8,000 hectares, mainly in threedistricts of Ninh Phuoc, Thuan Nam and Thuan Bac.
Besides, the locality also holds good solar energy potential as it has averagesunshine hours of 2,600-2,800 per year, with solar radiation at 320 kcal/cm2per year.
Ninh Thuan already has its local master plan on wind power development from2011-2020 with a vision to 2030 approved by the Minister of Industry and Trade,which designates five potential zones with total area of 21,432 ha for windpower with projected total capacity of 1,429 MW and solar projects with totalcapacity of 4,848 MW by 2030.
Theprovince is finalizing a master plan for solar energy from 2016 to 2020 with avision to 2030, which aims to generate around 2,000MW of electricity by 2020.
