The project has an installed capacity of 90 MW, with 19 wind turbine towers. It is expected to produce approximately 271 million kWh of electricity annually, which will be integrated into the national power grid.

Upon completion and connection to the national power grid, the Wind Power Plant No. 7 Project (Phase 2) is expected to provide a clean and stable energy source, contributing to the effective implementation of the green economy strategy and gradually reducing dependence on fossil fuels. It will also attract investment, create jobs, and improve energy infrastructure capacity for Can Tho City and the entire Mekong Delta region.

At the same time, it creates momentum for the development of the city's coastal areas, promotes economic restructuring, improves the investment environment, and creates more jobs for local workers.

With that in mind, Mr. Tran Chi Hung suggested that investors and contractors focus maximum resources, technology, and high-quality human resources; strictly comply with legal regulations, technical standards, and procedures on labor safety and environmental protection; organize construction scientifically, ensuring safety, quality, on schedule, according to design, and with high efficiency.

He also requested that departments, agencies, and local authorities work alongside investors, creating favorable conditions regarding administrative procedures, land clearance, and technical infrastructure. In particular, they should promptly address any difficulties or obstacles arising during the project implementation.
