The Risen Phu Yen Wind Power Plant project has a planned capacity of 80 MW, with a total investment of 2.94 trillion VND (111.67 million USD) and an operational lifespan of 50 years. It will occupy approximately 46.4 hectares of land across Muong Coi and Phu Yen communes. The wind turbines will utilise advanced technology from Shanghai Electric, ensuring efficient wind resource utilisation and stable operation under the challenging terrain conditions of mountainous areas. The project is expected to be completed and commence commercial operation in the third quarter of 2028.

Once operational, the project is projected to generate more than 250 million kWh of electricity annually for the national power grid, while making a significant contribution to Vietnam’s green energy transition goals and its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
