The 30 MW project is set to be developed in Tan Lap and Khe Sanh communes.
It will occupy about 10.5 hectares of land on a long-term basis, or less than 0.35 hectares per MW. The area will include turbine foundations, safety corridors, internal roads, operations buildings, and auxiliary facilities such as landscaped gardens and green spaces.
An additional 9 hectares will be temporarily allocated during construction, or less than 0.3 hectares per MW, covering equipment staging areas and road expansions. Investors must return the land once the plant enters operation.
The Hung Bac wind power project received in-principle approval from the provincial People’s Committee on August 26, with investors to be selected through a competitive bidding process.
A consortium of Hung Bac Energy Investment JSC and Hoang Hai Quang Tri Energy Investment Co. submitted their proposals for the project in March and May 2025.
Under the consortium's plan, construction is scheduled to begin in Q3/2026, with commercial operations set for Q4/2027.
Quang Tri’s total planned power capacity under Vietnam's Adjusted National Power Development Plan VIII is 14,475 MW through 2030 and 3,872.8 MW for the 2031-2035 period, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade said
As of late July, total installed and commercially operating capacity in the province had stood at 1,459.8 MW, including 21 wind farms (994.2 MW), 11 hydropower plants (181.5 MW), four ground-mounted solar projects (159.2 MW), and 1,204 rooftop solar systems (126.7 MW).
