Vestas, Siemens Gamesa won turbine orders for intertidal wind farms in Vietnam

Vestas was awarded the 50 MW contract supplying intertidal wind turbines for the second phase of the Dong Hai project, after it secured the first phase of the project. 

With a combined capacity of 100 MW, the project in Bạc Liêu will be the largest intertidal wind farm in Vietnam to date.

With the Vietnamese government’s commitment to developing offshore wind power, major wind market players eager to gain foothold in Vietnam. In mid-July, Siemens Gamesa won an order for 75 MW Tan Thuan intertidal wind farm located in Cà Mau province, along with a 10-year contract to provide operation and maintenance services. This is the company’s fourth turbine order for intertidal wind farm in Vietnam.
