A significant milestone in Vietnam’s wind power development has been reached with the official Commercial Operation Date (COD) granted to the wind power company, Shizen Energy Wind Project Vietnam. The 40 MW onshore wind farm in Quang Tri Province’s Huong Hoa District was developed in partnership with Hai Anh Quang Tri Wind Power JSC. It is expected to produce clean electricity for thousands of households and cut down on approximately 35,344 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

Hugh Kelly, the CEO of Shizen Energy, stated:

“The project is an important step toward Vietnam’s transition to a greener future. We are honored to collaborate with Japanese partners and Hai Anh Quang Tri to provide clean, dependable energy to nearby communities.”

By fusing local knowledge with international creativity, the project shows how international collaboration can hasten Vietnam’s wind power development.

40 MW Onshore Wind Power Project Vietnam

Eight 5,000 kW Shanghai Electric turbines, totaling 40 MW in power, are part of the Shizen Energy Renewable project in Vietnam. Construction began in January 2024, and in November 2025, following extensive testing and governmental inspection, the project was formally certified as COD.

An estimated 106 GWh of electricity will be produced by the wind farm each year, which is sufficient to power thousands of homes and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35,344 tons annually. Vietnam’s dedication to sustainable growth and the expansion of renewable energy is demonstrated by this milestone.

Driving Renewable Projects with Shizen Energy and Hai Anh Quang Tri

Shizen Energy Group was established in 2011 and has since grown its renewable footprint internationally, completing projects in Brazil and Southeast Asia. With this onshore wind project, Shizen Energy—which is well-known for its innovations in wind, solar, biomass, and energy management systems (EMS)—now directly supports the growth of wind power in Vietnam.

Anh Quang Hai Tri Wind Power JSC, a subsidiary of Hai Anh Trading and Technologies JSC, led local development and construction efforts. Their partnership with Shizen Energy serves as an example of how global alliances can advance Shizen Energy’s renewable projects while also helping local communities.

A representative for Hai Anh Quang Tri stated:

“Achieving COD makes us very happy. In addition to producing clean energy, this project fortifies Vietnam’s renewable energy infrastructure and international

Support from Japan—the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)

Under Japan’s Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), this project is the first to be approved in Vietnam wind power development. The initiative, which is funded by MOEJ, guarantees accurate measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of greenhouse gas reductions.

The MOEJ project coordinator, Hiroshi Tanaka, stated:

“Japan’s commitment to global decarbonization and renewable energy partnerships in Southeast Asia is demonstrated by its support of the Shizen Energy wind project in Vietnam.”

Effect on the Growth of Renewable Energy in Vietnam

As a result of its rapid economic growth, Vietnam’s electricity consumption increased from 158 TWh in 2016 to 276 TWh in 2024. Vietnam’s Hai Anh Quang Tri Wind Project intends to increase onshore and nearshore wind capacity to 26,066–38,028 MW by 2030, eventually surpassing 90,000 MW by 2050, in accordance with Power Development Plan VIII (2025–2030).

This objective is directly aided by the Shizen Energy wind project in Vietnam, which serves as a prototype for upcoming 40 MW onshore wind power projects in Vietnam and illustrates how Shizen Energy renewable projects can grow to accommodate the country’s energy needs.

Expanding Clean Energy

Shizen Energy and Hai Anh Quang Tri intend to create more wind power projects throughout Vietnam in the wake of this success. These initiatives seek to boost the Vietnam wind power development strategy, generate more clean energy, and generate jobs locally.

In addition, the project establishes a standard for the adoption of technology, such as Shanghai Electric turbines, and demonstrates how public-private cooperation can hasten the expansion of renewable energy in Southeast Asia.
