U.K. — Corio Generation has signed a joint development agreement with FECON, a Vietnamese construction and infrastructure group, for a proposed 500-MW offshore wind farm in Ba Ria, Vung Tau province.
The proposed 500-MW Vung Tau offshore windfarm, located 23 km to 35km from the coast, could be among the first large-scale offshore wind projects to be built in Vietnam, once licenses and approvals are obtained.
Once constructed, the fixed-bottom project could produce about 1,250 GWh of clean electricity and avoid more than 600,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year, according to an analysis by the Green Investment Group.
The partnership demonstrates Corio’s commitment toward renewable energy development in Vietnam, said company representatives at a signing ceremony in the capital, Hanoi, on June 22.
