wpd, together with Levanta Renewables, is planning the Kon Plong onshore wind energy project in the Vietnamese province of Kon Tum, located about 780 km southeast of the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. The project marks wpd’s entry into the Vietnamese market.
The development of the project, planned for a total capacity of up to 103.5 MW, has been initiated by Levanta Renewables and advanced with support from its Vietnamese partners. The partnership with wpd will drive the next development stage for the Kon Plong project.
Wind measurements have already confirmed attractive wind resources at the site in the central highlands. The Kon Plong project has been included in Vietnam’s “Power Development Plan 7” and is therefore well-positioned to receive central government support for further development steps. Construction is expected to start in 2022.
