Cà Mau aims high with its ambitious goals for the renewable energy sector, as reported by TTXVN. The provincial People’s Committee of Ca Mau has recently approved a plan that outlines the direction of Vietnam’s national energy development strategy up to 2030, with a vision towards 2045. Notably, they aim to become the leading hub for renewable energy in the Mekong Delta region and a significant exporter of renewable energy nationwide by 2030. |
By 2030, the province intends to provide an additional 960MW of wind power, 24MW of biomass power, 16MW of power generated from solid waste, and 15MW of rooftop solar power to the region. They will also develop a synchronized transmission grid system to accommodate these new power sources and meet the electricity demands of the area.
To achieve these goals, Ca Mau will prioritize the unlimited development of renewable energy sources for export and the production of new forms of energy such as hydrogen and green ammonia. They have set specific targets for exporting electricity generated from renewable sources: 2,000MW by 2031, 3,000MW by 2035, and a significant jump to 5,000MW by 2040. Additionally, they plan to develop renewable energy sources that do not feed into the grid to produce hydrogen for domestic use and export.
The province will also tap into the potential of renewable energy in Dam Doi and Ngoc Hien districts, as identified in the Ca Mau plan for 2021-2030, with a vision towards 2050. This will facilitate the production of approximately 86,248 tons of hydrogen per year. Furthermore, Ca Mau will implement programs to promote energy conservation and minimize energy losses, aiming for a 7% energy savings rate by 2030 and 14% by 2045.
In the short term, Ca Mau will coordinate and provide support to the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group for the timely implementation of the Khanh My-Dam Doi field development project. This project is expected to supply gas to the Ca Mau gas-power-fertilizer cluster by the second quarter of 2027. They will also prioritize inviting investment in a system of floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) capable of importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet the gas demands of the Ca Mau region, with a capacity of approximately 1-3 million tons per year during the period of 2026-2030.
Currently, Ca Mau has 16 approved wind power projects with a total capacity of 1,000 MW. In addition, there are 41 new projects in the pipeline, including 29 onshore, nearshore, and offshore wind power projects (totaling 7,712 MW) and 10 gas power and other power source projects (totaling 11,934 MW).
