Gia Lai Approves 42 MW Wind Farm with Investment Exceeding VND 1.63 Trillion
Gia Lai has approved the Lơ Pang wind farm and its investor. The 42 MW project will cost more than VND 1.63 trillion and is scheduled to begin construction in May 2027 and start operating in September 2028.
The Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee said on November 10 that it had approved the investment policy for the Lơ Pang wind power project and approved LơPang Energy Joint Stock Company as its investor. Located in Lơ Pang and Mang Yang, the project has a designed capacity of 42 MW and is expected to generate about 101 million kWh of electricity annually.
Total investment exceeds VND 1.63 trillion. The investor will contribute 20%, or more than VND 327 billion, while the remaining 80%, or more than VND 1.3 trillion, will be raised from other sources. The project will use more than 20 hectares of land, including more than 14 hectares for fixed-term use and more than 6 hectares for temporary use. Supporting infrastructure includes a 35/220 kV step-up substation and a 220 kV line connecting to the regional grid.
Under the investment approval decision, the project will operate for 50 years. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2027, with completion and commissioning planned for September 2028. Gia Lai has required the investor to comply with regulations on investment, construction, land and environmental protection, and to arrange financing appropriately. Temporary construction land must be agreed with local authorities and relevant agencies and must not include natural forest land, defense land or land designated for residential areas. The investor must also repair roads damaged by the transport of materials and equipment.
The Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee said the project would increase the supply of clean electricity and help boost industrial output, government revenue and local employment. To date, Gia Lai has 85 renewable energy projects in commercial operation, with a combined installed capacity of 4,271 MW. Under the relevant power plans, the province’s renewable energy projects have a development target of about 9,657 MW by 2035.
