Commercial operations start for 252 MW Onshore wind farm in Vietnam

ACEN, the listed energy platform of the Ayala Group, together with its partner AMI Renewables has announced the commercial operations for its 252 MW wind farm in Quang Binh, Vietnam.

The wind farm is one of the largest in Vietnam, expected to produce 648 GWh per year, enough to power 270,000 homes and help avoid 580,000 tons of CO2 annually. Its wind turbines stand at 145 meters in hub height, which allows the optimization of wind energy production. The construction of the wind project created over 1,600 local jobs.

Patrice Clausse, ACEN Head of International Group, said: “The 252 MW Quang Binh wind farm plays a critical role in helping Vietnam achieve its renewable energy target, and is a testament to our ability to execute large scale developments amidst challenging times. ACEN’s renewables growth continues to accelerate, and we are delighted to be part of Vietnam’s rapid development towards a more sustainable future.”
