Climate Investor One’s investment will be used to finance the construction of the project, which will support the government’s ambition of reducing reliance on fossil fuels, hydropower and energy imports through the implementation of renewable energy projects.

As electricity demand in Vietnam is significantly increasing, the government has stipulated ambitious goals for the wind and solar sector and in 2016 revised Vietnam’s renewable energy targets. Targeted capacity for wind is 800 MW by 2020, 2,000 MW by 2024 and 6,000 MW installed by 2030.

To reach these goals the government will need to take measures to expedite wind development. Thus, it is necessary to encourage independent power producers to enter the market with new sources of funding to finance the country’s transition.

The E&S risk of the project has been classified as category B+ (in accordance with CI1’s risk categorisation), which is equivalent to International Finance Corporation (IFC) Category B.

An environmental impact assessment (EIA) to meet Vietnamese requirements has been completed and approved. An IFC-compliant environmental and social impact assessment has been completed. Land acquisition is being undertaken as per Vietnamese law by the government. All the IFC Performance Standards are triggered except for PS7 (Indigenous Peoples).

An environmental and social management plan has been prepared and will be implemented for the construction phase. A community development programme will guide a series of interventions for delivering positive impacts in the local area.
