Advertisement Enterprize Energy, an offshore wind developer, has announced the commencement of initial marine surveys off the coast of Binh Thuan province for its 3.4 GW Thang Long Offshore Wind project, one of the largest offshore wind farms to be granted a survey licence by the Vietnamese Government. Vietnam is set to become a clean energy leader in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, targeting 21% installed renewable energy capacity by 2030. With an estimated 160 GW of wind energy potential in the region’s waters, the roll out of significant offshore wind projects will be key to meeting this target. However, to ensure the local economic benefits of Vietnam’s transition from fossil fuels is fully realised, it will be crucial for developers to work directly with local supply chains and ensuring projects are brought online in a manner which recognises, and works together with, existing crucial coastal activity, such as Vietnam’s tourism and fishing sectors.
