New turbine in Bac Lieu's wind-power project ready for generation

The 10th turbine in southern Bac Lieu Province's sea wind-power project has been installed.

The turbine is made of titan steel, weighs nearly 210 tones, and measures 80 meters in height and 4 meters in diameter.

These turbines were provided by General Electric and have capacity of 1.6 megawatts each.

Under the project, 62 turbines with total capacity of 99.2 MW will be installed at a total cost of $US250 million, which is sourced from loans provided by the US Import and Export Bank.

In the second phase, contractors will install 52 other turbines that will be capable of producing 400 million kWh of electricity per year when fully operational.

The wind-power project in Bac Lieu is getting fast-tracked so it can start supplying power to the national grid as early as possible.
