A $52-million wind power plant being built in Vietnam will generate up to 170 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year when it is finished. Construction has also started on a 50-megawatt hydropower plant worth more than $62 million in the central Thua Thien Hue province. The hydropower plant will generate 195 million kilowatt hours a year, as well as help to control floods and salt intrusion, and supply water for farmland irrigation in the lower section of the Bo river. Electricity consumption has risen by an average of 13 percent to 15 percent annually in the past few years in Vietnam, creating an urgent need for more generating capacity.
