With terrain bordering the sea on three sides, a 310km long coastline, stable wind speed, high sunshine hours (2,200 - 2,700 hours/year) and strong radiation, Ca Mau has ideal conditions for developing wind and solar power.

Through research, the province's wind power technical potential can reach over 19,500 MW; the aquaculture area of over 400,000 hectares can be combined with solar power development with an estimated scale of over 11,500 MW.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Chi Nguyen said that the province is currently operating 16 wind power plants with a total capacity of 870.2 MW, along with 2,827 rooftop solar power systems with 295.494 MWp. In the adjustment of the eighth power plan, Ca Mau has been supplemented with many important power sources such as: 3,200 MW of LNG power, 2,309 MW of wind power, 117 MW of self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar power, 100 MW of concentrated solar power and biomass and waste-to-energy projects.

In particular, a project to export electricity from renewable energy with a capacity of 12,000 - 15,000 MW has been included in the planning list, with the option of connecting by underground cable to Malaysia and overhead line to Singapore.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Chi Nguyen provided more information about the major projects the province is calling for investment in: 22 wind power projects with a total capacity of 1,309 MW, 02 concentrated solar power projects with a total capacity of 100 MW; at the same time, building an orientation to form a multi-purpose energy center associated with logistics development and Hon Khoai deep-water port.
