On the morning of April 23, 2026, along the coastline of Hengpufang in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, the first pile foundation of 32 wind turbines was simultaneously driven. A few hours ago, news also spread from thousands of miles away in Jialai Province that four scenic projects received approval on the same day. One icebreaker in the north and one accelerator in the central region, the north-south map of Vietnam's wind power was synchronously refreshed within 24 hours.

North's first wind farm breaks ground

The Guangning No.1 wind power project has an installed capacity of 200 megawatts and a total investment of nearly 7.3 trillion Vietnamese dong. It is planned to be put into operation in 2028, with an annual power generation of about 600 million kilowatt hours. This is the first large-scale wind power project in northern Vietnam, invested and constructed by AMI Guangning Energy Co., Ltd. Vietnam has a coastline of 3260 kilometers and abundant wind energy resources. However, previous wind power development was highly concentrated in the southern provinces of Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan, while the northern region remained blank for a long time, mainly due to the lack of wind measurement data and weak transmission facilities. The commencement of Guangning No.1 provides a replicable model for subsequent northern wind power projects.

Simultaneous multi-point flowering in the central plateau

The Renhe No. 3 wind power and three photovoltaic projects, with a total installed capacity of approximately 230 megawatts, were approved in Jialai Province on April 16th. They are scheduled to start construction in November 2026 and be put into operation in August 2028. There are also 9 wind and solar projects being promoted simultaneously in the province, with a total installed capacity of about 700 megawatts. According to the revised eighth electricity plan of Vietnam, the target for onshore and nearshore wind power installation by 2030 is 26000 to 38000 megawatts, with an expected annual increase of 3 to 5 gigawatts in the coming years.

China's supply chain welcomes incremental window

Vietnam's domestic wind turbine production capacity is almost zero, and the main engine, tower and key components are highly dependent on imports. Chinese manufacturers and supply chain enterprises have taken the lead in this market by leveraging their advantages in price, delivery capability, and geographical distance. But the Vietnamese government's requirement for localization ratio is becoming increasingly clear, and the localization rate of equipment and local service teams may become hard indicators in subsequent project bidding. The competitiveness of relying solely on equipment exports will gradually weaken, and the deep binding model of investment, manufacturing, and services is becoming a better solution for China's wind power mining in Vietnam.Editor/Gao Xue
