GE Renewable Energy has secured a turbine order for the Cau Dat wind farm in Vietnam’s Lam Dong province.
The manufacturer will supply 15 4MW-137 wind turbines and will provide operations and maintenance services for the wind farm for 10 years, which is being developed by Ocean Renewable joint Stock Company.
The turbines, which will have a hub height of 111.5 metres, are “ideally suited” to exploit the wind conditions in the mountainous range of Lam Dong in the Central Highland region of Vietnam.
Construction of the Cau Dat Wind farm is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2021. It will create jobs during the initial construction period and ongoing employment opportunities in operations, maintenance and project support services throughout the agreement period.
Gilan Sabatier, regional leader for GE Renewable Energy’s onshore wind business in South Asia and ASEAN, said: “We thank Ocean Renewable Energy Joint Stock Company and their leadership team for selecting GE on this project.
“The award of the Cau Dat wind farm further validates our commitment to Vietnam and underscores our important contribution to the country’s energy transition.”
