Vestas has secured a 50 MW order from a local EPC construction company, Bac Phuong JSC for the second phase of the 100MW Dong Hai 1 intertidal wind project.
Vestas was awarded the first phase of the project in December 2019. To optimize energy production for the site’s specific wind conditions, Vestas will supply and supervise the installation of 13 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines, with ten turbines in 3.8 MW and three turbines in 4.0 MW operating modes.
The Dong Hai 1 intertidal wind project will also feature customized towers placed on reinforced onshore foundations above sea level. Located in shallow waters close to shore in Bạc Liêu Province, both phases of the Dong Hai 1 wind farm are strategically placed to exploit the full potential of the Mekong Delta region’s favorable wind conditions.
The order also includes a 10-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement, designed to maximize energy production for the project. The turbine installation is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021
