Mekong Delta works to advance renewable energy development

02/20/2024 15:53 | TTXVN |

Many localities in the Mekong Delta region are focusing on attracting investment and developing renewable energy projects, helping to solve energy security issues and driving socio-economic breakthroughs in the region. With a coastline stretching about 700 km, a vast exclusive economic zone of up to 360,000 km2 and strong coastal winds, the potential for offshore wind energy exploitation across the delta can reach between 1,200 MW and 1,500 MW. The entire region annually receives an average of 2,200 to 2,500 hours of sunshine. More than 90% of the total days in a year see the delta receiving sufficient sunlight to operate solar energy panels, with average radiation ranging from 1,387 to 1,534 kWh/kWp/year. With these advantages, the total potential capacity of solar power in the entire region could hit 136,275 MW, generating an estimated electricity output of over 216 billion kWh per year. Furthermore, the region can also exploit the potential of tidal energy and abundant biomass energy from its agricultural by-products of over 23 million tonnes per year, which have yet to be fully tapped.
