Gia Lai is one of the provinces with potential to develop resources recycled energy available as energy from hydropower, biomass power, wind power, Solar power.
Particularly in the field of wind power, Gia Lai is considered to have very good potential for wind energy development. To date, the province has had 17 wind power projects of 16 investors approved for investment policy decisions with a capacity of 1.242,4MW. It is expected that completed wind power projects will contribute to promoting socio-economic development, attracting tourism and increasing local budget revenue.

On the other hand, wind power enterprises will pay taxes according to regulations, which will help increase budget revenue in the area.
If converted to an average of 1MW of wind power, the budget contribution is about 550 million VND, 17 wind power projects under construction have wattage After being put into commercial operation (COD), 1.242MW will contribute about 680 billion VND, accounting for about 13,6% of total budget revenue in Gia Lai province.

In Kong Chro district, there are 3 wind power projects under construction: Hung Hai, Cho Glong, Giang Trung with a total of 89 turbine pillars in the stage of installing pillars and blades. These projects have attracted hundreds of local workers during construction.

Mr. Huynh Ngoc An, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Kong Chro district, said that Kong Chro is a difficult mountainous district with 70% of the population being Bahnar ethnic people, 15% of whom are poor households. In recent years, due to prolonged drought, crop productivity has decreased significantly and land use efficiency is very poor. Therefore, hopefully, when wind power projects are built in Kong Chro, the government and people basically agree and hope that wind power projects will soon come into operation to contribute to promoting local economic development. direction.
Mr. Le Van Son, Klah village, Cho Glong commune, Kong Chro district, Gia Lai, said that compensation for people's land areas many times higher than the market price also creates opportunities for people to reinvest. improve land use efficiency. People benefit from the project's roads in transporting agricultural products. Previously, agricultural product prices were low in many areas because there were no roads to transport them for sale.
Construction work is accelerating at wind power projects in Gia Lai province
To put into commercial operation (COD) on schedule before November 01, 11 (according to the provisions of Decision No. 2021/39/QD-TTg on the mechanism to support the development of wind power projects in Vietnam). Nam), Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee and departments and local authorities at all levels have created conditions and supported investors to accelerate the implementation of construction investment procedures and conduct construction work. build wind power plants.

This leads to delays in construction progress and seriously affects the progress of putting wind power plants into commercial operation.
Meanwhile, with the remaining FIT price term of about 3 months, although investors focus on mobilizing human resources and construction machinery, it will be very difficult to meet the completion schedule and put wind power plants into operation. commercial operation before November 01, 11 according to the deadline.
In addition, transporting wind power equipment on traffic routes from Ports (Phu My, Cam Ranh, Quy Nhon, etc.) to the construction site faces many difficulties due to high static clearance of power lines. Telecommunications cables are too low and need to be raised. At the same time, overseas equipment suppliers delayed delivery due to the COVID-19 epidemic in the host country.

Wind power project in Gia Lai province according to the FIT price mechanism in Decision No. 39/2018/QD-TTg dated September 10, 9, until December 2018, 31.
Construction work is accelerating at wind power projects in Gia Lai province.

According to a report from the Gia Lai Department of Industry and Trade, the list of wind power projects and connection plans approved to be added to the adjusted Power Planning VII, Gia Lai province has 16 wind power projects with a total capacity of 1.192,4, XNUMXMW.
In addition, the HBRE Chu Prong Wind Farm wind power project, with a capacity of 50MW, was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade to be added to the Gia Lai province's electricity development planning for the period 2016-2025, with consideration to 2035. Thus, Gia Lai province has 17 wind power projects with a total capacity of 1.242,4MW approved to be added to the electricity development plan./.
