A 4×50-megawatt wind power plant built by China Huadian Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Huadian Corporation Ltd., started full-capacity commercial operations on July 6 in Dak Lak province in Vietnam.
The plant boasts 73 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 200 MW and it’s expected to generate 612 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, meeting the daily needs of about 240,000 households.
The wind farm is projected to save 190,000 metric tons of standard coal and reduce 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

The project created 500 jobs for local communities, effectively boosting employment and expanding the revenues of the enterprises that were involved. The construction team also built and overhauled 68 kilometers of rural roads, upgrading the transportation of local residents.
The construction team also conducted regular public welfare activities, donating daily necessities and various educational materials to the middle and primary schools in the vicinity of the project.
Undertaking social responsibilities as a central State-owned enterprise, China Huadian has contributed to win-win cooperation between China and other countries through its tangible people-oriented measures.
