The wind from the sea is coming, and countries and enterprises are rushing forward. Although offshore wind power is an inevitable choice. On November 11, 2020, Energy China Gezhouba International Corporation and Vietnam Construction and Trading Corporation signed the EPC contract for the 350MW offshore wind power project in Ca Mau, Vietnam. This project is the first large-scale intertidal wind power project signed by Gezhouba Group in Southeast Asia, laying a solid foundation for further expansion of the global new energy market. The company’s party secretary and chairman Lu Zexiang video witnessed the signing.
Vietnam's Ca Mau No. 1 wind power project is located in the tidal flat area of Sanjiang Dongshe, Nangen County, Ca Mau Province, Vietnam, with a total installed capacity of 350MW, divided into four wind farms A, B, C and D. The scope of the project EPC contract mainly includes the design, equipment supply, civil construction, installation and commissioning of projects such as intertidal wind farms, collection submarine cables, control centers, substations, transmission lines, as well as the owner’s office building and operation and maintenance docks.
With the continuous economic development of Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, the demand for electricity is increasing day by day, and the demand for renewable energy such as wind, solar and biomass energy in the local power market is also gradually increasing. Currently, Vietnam’s power generation is about 54GW. According to the national energy development strategy announced by the Vietnamese government in February, it is expected to rise to 130GW in the next ten years. The 10-year energy development plan proposed by the Vietnamese government emphasizes the promotion of clean energy and plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 20% to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The development of offshore wind power is one of the priority goals of the Vietnamese government to develop the marine economy.
The Ca Mau No. 1 wind power project is currently the largest intertidal wind power in Vietnam, as well as the largest wind power project in Vietnam. After the completion of the project, it will add about 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours of new power generation each year, save about 450,000 tons of standard coal, reduce about 880,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, significantly improve the current power shortage in the region and the entire southern region of Vietnam, and ease economic and social development and environmental protection The contradiction between them has made important contributions to the sustainable development of Vietnam and the world. During the construction and operation of the project, it will effectively promote the development of related industries, increase local fiscal revenue, and create a large number of local employment opportunities, train a large number of experienced skilled workers, promote local socio-economic development, and inject strong vitality into the Vietnamese economy.
In the context of the current global energy transition, Gezhouba International takes new energy business as an important direction of the company’s emerging business, relying on the advantages of the new energy international investment alliance platform, and playing an active role in China Energy Construction’s synergy in "going out" and speeding up the promotion China's new energy business "goes out" with high quality. Up to now, the international new energy contract reserve of Gezhouba Group has exceeded 3GW, which has realized important expansion from traditional regional markets to emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Offshore wind power projects have higher requirements for ship equipment resources and construction management capabilities. Energy China has leading offshore wind power project design capabilities, and has mature offshore wind turbine installation and submarine cable construction equipment and technologies. The signing of this intertidal wind power project is an important result of the company's use of the expertise of China Energy Construction's offshore wind power to promote the deep cultivation of the Southeast Asian new energy market.
