Offshore wind power projects remain on drawing board

Vietnam is considered to have the best natural conditions in Asia to develop offshore wind power projects, with potential of up to 475,000 MW, and the National Energy Development Strategy has affirmed they are a priority. Though there have been a number of large projects registered for investment, they are still in the exploration stage, so none have been implemented to date. International energy organizations have suggested that Vietnam increase its offshore wind capacity to 10,000 MW by 2030 to attract investors.
