VinEnergo is expanding its renewable energy footprint across several Vietnamese provinces through solar and wind initiatives.

In Lai Chau province, the company is developing the Ban Chat 1 and Ban Chat 2 floating solar projects on the Ban Chat hydroelectric reservoir. These projects, which have a combined capacity of 550MW, are expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2028. To facilitate construction, a specialized 220-ton vessel was launched to assist with infrastructure and anchoring.

In the central highlands, VinEnergo is also advancing a 143 MW wind power plant project in Gia Lai province, which has received approval for project adjustments. Additionally, a 220 MW floating solar power plant project is under review in Dak Lak province on the Song Ba Ha hydropower reservoir.
