Blue Circle wins investment for Wind project in Vietnam

The Blue Circle, a Singapore-based wind energy developer, has received an investment certificate from Vietnamese authorities for its 40-megawatt project in Ninh Thuan province, south Vietnam.

The certificate to the Blue Circle and its Vietnamese partner, TSV, opens the process to sign a long-term lease and power purchase agreement with EVN, the national power utility, the Blue Circle said in an e-mailed statement.

The site, along the Highway One, has a potential for a total capacity of 70 megawatts to 100 megawatts, the developer said.

Construction is scheduled to start in 2017 for the first phase, according to the statement. Total investment for the initial phase is expected to reach US$60 million.
