Vietnam Onshore Wind Power Plant by Shizen Energy Group Obtains Commercial Operation Date Certificate

We are pleased to announce that the onshore wind power project developed and constructed by Hai Anh Quang Tri Wind Power JSC (Hai Anh Quang Tri), in which Shizen Energy Inc. (Shizen Energy) has invested through its subsidiary, has fulfilled the detailed technical requirements for testing and test supervision, as required by the authorities. The plant has obtained a Commercial Operation Date (COD) certificate, effective November 2025.
Shizen Energy entered into a share transfer agreement with Hai Anh Quang Tri, a company developing and constructing an onshore wind power project in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, through its subsidiary on June 13, 2024. This agreement aims to advance renewable energy projects in Vietnam. The transaction was formally approved by the Department of Finance of Quang Tri Province on May 13, 2025.
In Vietnam, electricity demand has increased in recent years due to rapid economic growth. From 2016 to 2024, electricity consumption grew from 158 TWh to 276 TWh (average 7.2% per year). For 2026 – 2030, the revised Power Development Plan VIII (2025) projects GDP growth of 8 – 10% per year and corresponding electricity demand growth of 10.3 – 12.5% annually. To meet the electricity demand in the upcoming years, Vietnam targets an expansion of onshore and nearshore wind capacity to 26,066 – 38,028 MW by 2030, 84,696 – 91,400 MW by 2050.
This project involves the deployment of a total of 40 MW of onshore wind power generation systems in Huong Hoa District, Quang Tri Province, located in north-central Vietnam. Construction has started since January 2024, with operations scheduled to commence in November 2025. The project will install eight Shanghai Electric turbines, each with an output of 5,000 kW, for a total output of approximately 40 MW, or approximately 106 MWh per year. The electricity generated will be sold to Vietnam Electricity (EVN), and is expected to contribute to an annual reduction of 35,344 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. The project has been selected under Subsidy Programme for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Facility Introduction by Ministry of the Environment, Japan (“MOEJ”) in FY2022*1.
This is the first wind power project in Vietnam approved under the Joint Crediting Mechanism by the Government of Japan and will be the second wind project for the Shizen Energy Group in the country.
Following this project, Shizen Energy and Hai Anh Quang Tri will continue to develop further wind power projects in Vietnam to contribute to the country’s decarbonization.
