Mong Cai City, the northern province of Quang Ninh, is planning to develop renewable energy on Vinh Thuc and Vinh Trung islands in the near future.
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Ho Quang Huy said the city will boost the development of renewable energy to switch from traditional energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas to green and safer ones like wind, solar, hydrological, and biological energy in line with the common orientations set up by central and provincial agencies, he noted.
According to an adjusted general planning for the Mong Cai Border Gate Economic Zone approved by the Prime Minister, the zone has a total area of about 121,197 hectares, including 66,197 hectares on land and 55,000 hectares on water that includes such islands as Vinh Trung and Vinh Thuc of Mong Cai City and Cai Chien of Hai Ha District.

After the planning is finalised, Mong Cai will invite capable and experienced investors to develop a wind power system, adding that the development of clean and renewable energy will help create an impulse for the local economy to grow, natural values to be upheld, the city’s standing in the common development trend to be elevated, and related policies and resolutions of central and provincial administrations to be implemented.
As a coastal city with rich potential for economic development, Mong Cai holds a strategic position in Quang Ninh Province and Vietnam as a whole. Over the past years, it has always attached importance to preserving and bringing into play natural values and promoting renewable energy.

Meanwhile, in a draft planning of Quang Ninh by 2030 submitted to the Prime Minister, the province identified several focuses, including developing an environmentally friendly energy industry, maintaining its role as an energy centre of Vietnam and a wind and LNG-fired power center in the northern region, gradually switching to clean and renewable energy, and developing land-based, inshore, and offshore wind power with total initial capacity of about 2,500 MW.
