KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 (Bernama): Vietnam is expanding its power generation capacity as it balances its generation portfolio and meets the soaring energy demand of growing population and flourishing economy.

Renewable energy, according to Black & Veatch’s Strategic Directions: Electric Industry Asia 2021 Report, is expected to experience the most significant investment growth in new generation capacity over the next three to five years.

The Ia Pech 1 and Ia Pech 2 wind farms, located in Ia Grai district of Gia Lai province, are examples of investments in Vietnam’s renewable energy developments.

Dien Xanh Gia Lai Investment Energy Joint Stock Company, the developer of the la Pech wind farms, has engaged Black & Veatch as the Owner’s Engineer for both wind farms.

According to a statement, each Ia Pech wind farm project will have a capacity of 50 megawatts.

"With capabilities and expertise spanning the entire project life cycle and across generation, transmission and distribution technologies, we have been partnering with power producers around the world to deploy reliable and forward-looking renewable energy solutions,” said Black & Veatch's Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Asia Power Business, Narsingh Chaudhary.

As the Owner’s Engineer of the la Pech wind farms, Black & Veatch will undertake services including project management, project control, design review, quality assurance, construction monitoring and commissioning support.

The Ia Pech wind farms will generate and sell power to Vietnam Electricity for 20 years.

Construction of the farms is scheduled to begin this year and commercial operation is estimated to start by the fourth quarter. - Bernama
