Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) has a wind power potential of 1,068 GW, nearly 470 GW more than previously estimated, according to the Vietnam Offshore Wind Energy Technical Potential Report 2025 released on April 18.

In nearshore zones, the total technical wind power potential is 57.8 GW. The Bac Lieu-Ca Mau region alone contributes nearly 30% of this, while the Ninh Thuan-Binh Thuan area accounts for 24 GW. 

The report focuses on providing and sharing general information on offshore wind energy development in the world and in Vietnam.

Additionally, it also provides information on topography, geomorphology, marine meteorological hazards, and oceanographic conditions in the East Sea and along coastal areas of Vietnam, which are critical factors for the design and construction of offshore wind power projects.

The report was conducted by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting with support from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam.
