Vietnam is committed to the development and utilization of green energy technologies, particularly in the realm of wind turbine blades and solar panel production. The country aims to capitalize on its favorable geographical and climatic advantages to foster the growth of renewable energy sources.
In recent years, Vietnam has implemented a series of policies supporting the expansion of green and clean energy, as evidenced by the National Strategy for Green Growth (2021-2030), with a vision extended to 2050, the National Energy Development Strategy by 2030 and its outlook to 2045, and the eighth National Power Development Plan for the same period.
While large-scale wind power projects have been attracting investments in plains, coastal regions, and areas with favorable wind speeds, the overall exploitation of wind energy remains untapped, especially in regions with average to low wind speeds. Moreover, the design and development of wind turbine blades tailored to the unique climate and terrain of each region require further in-depth research.
Addressing this gap, a research team from the Centre for Renewable Energy Technology Development, operating under the Institute of Science and Technology for Energy and Environment (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology), has embarked on an ambitious project. This academy-level initiative focuses on designing wind turbine blades that are specifically suited to areas with low wind speeds in Vietnam.
According to Dr. Le Quang Sang, who leads this project, the team has successfully developed and manufactured five distinct models of wind turbine blades, marking a significant milestone.
Professor, Dr. Trinh Van Tuyen, a distinguished member of the Scientific Council at the Institute, praised the research as a pivotal step forward in the design and manufacturing of wind turbine blades for low wind speed regions. He emphasized that this new blade technology not only satisfies operational efficiency standards but also unlocks a realm of practical application opportunities. This, he affirmed, will significantly boost Vietnam’s wind energy resource exploitation endeavors.

The Green Revolution: FDI’s Focus on Environmental Initiatives
Nearly 40% of Vietnam boasts wind speeds ideal for wind power generation, with many regions also presenting favourable solar radiation levels. It is high time for the country to evolve from attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) at any cost, to a more discerning approach, harnessing its natural resources with a focus on renewable energy.
The Green Revolution: Unlocking the Future of Energy with the New Decree
The Vietnamese government is taking a proactive approach to fostering the growth of renewable energy sources, as outlined in their recent decree. This decree actively encourages and supports the research and development of wind and solar power, indicating a promising future for Vietnam’s energy sector.
Sweden Shares Secrets to Kicking the Fossil Fuel Habit, Offering Vietnam a Path to Net-Zero Emissions
Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam, Johan Ndisi, has emphasized the impressive growth of his nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), alongside a reduction in electric consumption. This sustainable development showcases Sweden’s expertise in balancing economic growth with environmental protection. Ambassador Ndisi hopes that by sharing these achievements, Sweden can inspire and support Vietnam in its journey towards net-zero emissions.
