“With a strong and growing team in Vietnam, we are well positioned and firmly committed to bringing clean energy to support economic growth and ease power shortage in Vietnam.
“Green recovery has been put at the centre of many countries’ post Covid-19 stimulus packages.
“A continued investment in wind and renewable energy technologies is equally critical to energy security as well as economic growth and job creation in Vietnam.
“We look forward to a constructive mechanism to support the continued growth in the wind industry when the current FiT expires in November 2021.”
