EDP Group has been present in Vietnam since 2019, with wind power and solar power projects in the southern provinces, with a total capacity of 500 MW, a total investment of 500 million USD.
EDPR leaders wish to come to study and survey the potential of radiation levels and wind speeds in Quang Tri . Thereby, deploying onshore wind power and solar power projects with a capacity of over 50 MW per project.
In addition, we hope to receive local support to connect with Industrial Parks and the Provincial Economic Zone Management Board to link with manufacturing plants, FDI companies, and administrative units that need to buy electricity directly from rooftop solar power systems.

Accordingly, the form of investment is that EDPR will invest in solar power systems on the roofs of industrial parks, factories, and administrative units, and at the same time pay for the costs of operating, repairing, and maintaining the solar power system throughout the project's life cycle.
The benefits of investment projects will promote the energy transition process in Vietnam in general and Quang Tri in particular, contributing to making Quang Tri a "Clean Energy Center" of the Central region.
At the same time, increase FDI capital in the locality, increase budget revenue, create jobs for local workers, ensure additional electricity supply for industrial parks, factories, and administrative units at competitive prices.
