This is an important milestone as it marks the first time the PTSC has successfully manufactured and exported large-scaled wind power foundations.

Specifically, the proposed framework sets the price at 3,975.1 VND/kWh for the northern region (including Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, and Thai Binh), 3,078.9 VND/kWh for the south-central coastal region (Binh Thuan), and 3,868.5 VND/kWh for the southern region (Ba Ria – Vung Tau).

The report also provides information on topography, geomorphology, marine meteorological hazards, and oceanographic conditions in the East Sea and along coastal areas of Vietnam, which are critical factors for the design and construction of offshore wind power projects.

Leaders of Binh Dinh had a working session on October 22 with Per Hornung Pedersen, Chairman and CEO of German company PNE, which is considering investment in a 4.6-billion-USD offshore wind power plant in the south-central province.

Vietnam, with its high economic openness and global integration, has set goals and developed plans to develop its offshore wind power industry.

The Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) and its Singaporean partner Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd held in Singapore on August 28 a ceremony of the hand-over of contract packages on wind and hydrological measurements and geological surveys under the project on exporting offshore renewable energy from Vietnam to Singapore.

The southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau and the Danish Embassy in Vietnam on June 3 jointly organised a conference to share knowledge on developing offshore wind power in the locality, gathering a large number of Vietnamese and Danish experts.

Producing green hydrogen from offshore wind power is seen as key to helping Vietnam achieve its goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

The Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC), a subsidiary company of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam), is deeply engaging in domestic and international offshore wind power projects thanks to its rich experience, strong resources and highly qualified personnel.

World leading scientists have contributed ideas and solutions on climate change response and greenhouse gas reduction towards net-zero emissions in Vietnam in 2050, during the ongoing 2023 VinFuture Sci-Tech Week in Hanoi.

The Vietnam-Russia oil and gas joint venture Vietsovpetro has recently sent a proposal to the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam) regarding the expansion of its operating area.

Accelerating energy transition and development of offshore wind energy will be an opportunity for Vietnam to move towards green growth, contributing to realising the country’s strong commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, said international experts.

A workshop discussing the potential for developing offshore wind power and marine spatial planning in Vietnam towards the blue economy was held by the Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in collaboration with the National Assembly's Committee for Science, Technology and Environment, in Hanoi on April 20.

Apart from providing green energy, developing offshore wind power also supports Vietnam in achieving its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050 that the country made at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), said Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Nicolai Prytz.

Developing offshore wind power is a great dual opportunity for Vietnam, Danish Ambassador to Vietnam Nicolai Prytz told a seminar themed “Promoting Vietnam’s offshore wind power development: International practices and policy recommendations” in Hanoi on March 16.

Vietnam's curent situation is similar to the UK's in the first decade of the 21st century, thus it can learn from and cooperate with the European country in the field of clean energy development, according to Dr. Dao Duc Cuong, an expert from Bradford University.

Norway is willing to share experiences and cooperate with Vietnam in the field of offshore wind power, said State Secretary of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Erling Rimestad at a meeting with Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Dang Hoang An in Hanoi on March 1.

Offshore wind power will be fundamental to realising Vietnam’s green transition goals, stated Stuart Livesey, Country Director of Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) in Vietnam - the offshore wind project developer of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) which is implementing La Gan offshore wind power project in the south-central province of Binh Thuan.

Offshore wind power will be fundamental to delivering Vietnam’s green transition goals, said Stuart Livesey, the Vietnam Country Director for Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) - the offshore wind project developer of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).

Strong winds off the southern coast of Vietnam make it one of the best places in the region to explore offshore wind power, according to Nikkei Asia.
