In Vietnam, the areas that can develop wind power have not spread on over the entire territory. If we choose all of the areas that can build small wind power stations (both the areas that are very difficult to access like small islands) for economic development service, Vietnam has 41% territory in rural areas that we can develop small wind power, including Ca Mau.

Ministry of Industry and Trade has approved a "Plan for development of wind power in Ca Mau period to 2020, with a vision to 2030".

Under the approved plan, the goal by 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in Ca Mau reached 350 MW, and is more than 3,600 by 2030 MW.

To achieve this goal, the 6 coastal districts have huge potential for wind power development in Ca Mau are included in the planning.

The Government have a plan for a regional wind power development that has nearly 2,300 megawatts of power, distributed in 11 communes and towns of three districts: Dam Doi, Nam Can and Ngoc Hien.

In the next phase, the remaining capacity in the region are investing in ten two communes and towns of the three remaining coastal districts of Phu Tan, Tran Van Thoi and U Minh.

Particularly the period from now until 2020, in Ca Mau expected to have five wind power projects being developed on 9,000 hectares of coastal areas in Ngoc Hien and Dam Doi, the total installed capacity of 350 MW, corresponding output is about 997.5 million kWh of wind electricity.

Most recently in Viet Nam, wind power projects in Phu Lac (Binh Thuan) have a capacity of 20 MW, the total investment of nearly 1,100 billion has been started construction in May 7-2015. In phase 1 of the project, the plant has a capacity of 24 MW, consisting of 12 wind turbines of the Vestas V100 (Denmark), each turbine has a capacity of 2MW.

On over the world, the development of wind power is a big trend, showing the highest growth rate compared with other energy sources. Unlike nuclear power which needs a technical process and very strict supervision, construction and installation of wind power does not require such rigorous processes. With the experience of successful development of wind power in India, China, and Philippines battery, and with the geographical advantage of Vietnam, we can fully develop wind power to play contributing to the overall development of the economy.

Hopefully, the wind power projects will soon be built and put into operation, bringing long term benefits for both the economy and society for people of Ca Mau.
