The lives of soldiers and islanders in Truong Sa island district in the south-central province of Khanh Hoa have changed a lot thanks to solar panels and wind turbines. Solar and wind power is used widely in islands belonging to Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago, meeting the daily needs of local residents for cooking, and powering TVs, radios and even electric fans at night. Truong Sa is the first district in Vietnam lit up with clean energy. Before 2010, islands in the Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago mainly used diesel generators to generate electricity for daily life and lighting. However, in recent years, clean energy electricity systems have been installed in Truong Sa which has a great advantage of sunny and windy weather. VNA Photo: Quân Trang
