Vietnam’s 29.7 MW wind project goes online

The electricity it will produce will be supplied to state-owned Vietnam Electricity.

The 29.7-megawatt (MW) ECOWIN wind project operated by 51% RATCH Group-owned ECOWIN Energy Corporation started commercial operations in Vietnam.

In a statement, Thailand-based RATCH Group said the onshore wind project, composed of nine wind turbines with 3.3 MW of capacity each, is located around 180 kilometres south of Ho Chi Minh City.

The project will supply electricity to Vietnam Electricity under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
