With over 3,000 kilometers of coastline, Vietnam holds significant potential for wind power generation. On April 18, Vietnamese authorities released a new report estimating the country’s wind power potential within its exclusive economic zone at 1,068 gigawatts (GW).
The study also identifies the strongest wind regions and time periods, incorporating extreme weather risk assessments, forming a scientific basis for future wind power policy.
Ninh Thuan–Binh Thuan leads in coastal wind potential
The report, titled " Detailed Assessment of Wind Resource Potential in Coastal (up to 6 Nautical Miles) and Offshore Areas in Vietnam," finds that wind strength peaks from November to February each year, with December being the windiest month. Wind speeds then decline, reaching the lowest point in May.
