The project “Technical assistance in constructing wind power connection and studying renewable energy integration in Vietnam” uses non-refundable aid funded by the U.S Trade and Development Agency in line with a financial support agreement between the U.S. Government and ERAV.
Under the agreement, GE will offer a technical supporting consulting service to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, especially ERAV, on necessary requirements to set up specific regulations for connecting wind power sources to the grid. The study will give detailed evaluations on the impacts of the power system’s stable operation possibility as well as assessing the reliability of forecasts on long-term wind power supply. Besides the technical consultation, GE will also hold training seminars on wind power development.
The studies of the International Energy Agency and the World Bank indicate that Vietnam has the highest potential in wind power development compared to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Some 8.6% of Vietnam’s territory is said to have huge potential for construction of large-scale wind power projects.
The signing ceremony was organized in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of GE in Vietnam.
On the same day, GE also announced to put into operation its Vietnam Technical Design Center. John Rice, vice chairman of GE, said that besides the group’s plant making wind turbines and components in the northern coastal city of Haiphong, the newly-established center is considered as proof of the long-term cooperation between GE and Vietnam. The center was commissioned with 41 engineers specializing in different oil and gas exploitation products.
