Envision Energy has been selected by REE Group to supply turbines for a 128 MW nearshore wind project in Vinh Long Province, including V1-3 Phase II (48 MW) and V1-5 & V1-6 Phase II (80 MW). The project will deploy 16 EN-226/8.XMW turbines, making it the largest nearshore project in Vietnam and Southeast Asia by single-turbine capacity.
Project Scope & Timeline
- Construction: Both phases start simultaneously; grid connection expected by October 2026.
- Wind Conditions: Average wind speeds exceed 7 m/s, ideal for large-rotor turbines.
- Technology Deployment: EN-226/8.XMW turbines have over 2.5 GW in orders and years of stable operation in Chinese offshore projects.
- Local Collaboration: Working with regional suppliers to meet high-humidity and high-salt environmental standards.
Strategic Significance
- Regional Benchmark: First large-rotor nearshore turbines under Vietnam’s Power Development Plan VIII, setting standards for future projects.
- Net-Zero Impact: Supports Vietnam’s renewable energy and carbon reduction goals.
- Operational Reliability: Turbines engineered for long-term performance and safety in challenging offshore conditions.
Edward Hou, Envision Energy Senior VP & President of Asia-Pacific, commented:
“This project opens a new chapter for offshore wind in Southeast Asia and demonstrates Envision’s ability to deliver high-capacity, reliable turbines for nearshore applications.”
Investor Takeaways
- Market Expansion: Strengthens Envision’s presence in Southeast Asia’s growing offshore wind sector.
- Proven Technology: Low-risk deployment with long-term operational reliability.
- Strategic Partnership: Collaboration with REE Group and local suppliers enhances project execution and regional influence.
- Sustainability Play: Aligns with global net-zero ambitions and regional energy transition priorities.
Bottom Line
The Vinh Long nearshore wind project positions Envision Energy as a regional leader in offshore wind technology, expands its Southeast Asian footprint, and sets a replicable standard for future high-capacity renewable energy projects.
