Vietnam's First Domestically Produced Wind Turbine Towers to Arrive in South Korea in April
In a significant milestone for Vietnam's renewable energy industry, the first locally manufactured wind turbine towers will be exported to South Korea in April 2023. This marks a major leap forward for the country's wind energy sector and underscores its potential to become a global player.
The towers, produced by Wind Power Technology and Development Joint Stock Company (WIPRO), a subsidiary of the Vietnam Electrical Equipment Corporation (EVN), are part of a contract to supply 57 towers for a 140-megawatt wind farm in South Korea. The project, developed by Korean company Hanwha Energy, is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
Each tower stands approximately 100 meters high and weighs around 250 tons. They are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including typhoons and earthquakes, and are manufactured to meet international standards.
The export of these towers demonstrates the growing maturity of Vietnam's wind energy industry, which has witnessed significant growth in recent years. In 2022, Vietnam added over 1,000 megawatts of wind power capacity, bringing its total installed capacity to over 4 gigawatts.
WIPRO's success in securing this contract is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and quality. The company has invested heavily in research and development, ensuring that its products meet the highest international standards.
The export of these towers to South Korea is expected to pave the way for further exports to other countries, positioning Vietnam as a leading manufacturer of wind turbine towers in the region. It also signals a growing demand for renewable energy sources, particularly in Asia, where governments are prioritizing clean energy development to meet ambitious climate goals.
