The area earmarked for the project

At the meeting, a company representative proposed an investment plan for the green energy cluster, with the goal of supplementing clean energy sources, including solar and stored hydropower, to self-supply a system to produce hydrogen, and coordinate with partial solar storage during peak hours.

The total investment for the study is about VND28 trillion ($1.14 billion). Based on multidimensional assessments in terms of land, dam elevation, dam scale, and water flow potential, the investor suggested Quang Kim commune in Quang Trach district for the project, covering ​​about 150 hectares of Vuc Tron Lake.

A solar power plant will also be built close to the north and south side of the lake with a total area of ​​about 700ha, combined with floating solar panels on the lake, to generate 1,050MWp.
