Developing renewable energy in the hottest area of Gia Lai

THANH TUẤN |

Gia Lai - The area dubbed the province's "hotbed" will focus on developing large-scale renewable energy projects.

On May 24, the Department of Industry and Trade of Gia Lai province said that after completing procedures on land, environment, and planning, some renewable energy projects in the area will be organized for construction on the site.

In particular, areas such as Ia Rsai, Uar, Chu Se, Ayun Pa, Phu Tuc... where there are high sunshine hours and high temperatures, are key renewable energy areas of the province.

These areas have prolonged hot weather, and people's lives are still facing many difficulties due to dependence on livestock and short-term crops.

However, the high number of sun hours is very favorable for solar power development, bringing profits to businesses.

Recently, in Ka To hamlet, Ia Rsai commune, Trang Duc Solar Energy Joint Stock Company held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Trang Duc Solar Power Plant project.

The project has a total designed capacity of 39.2 MW, a total investment of 900 billion VND and is implemented on an area of about 55ha.

The completion and commissioning time of the project is expected in the second quarter of 2027, adding nearly 90 million kWh/year to the national grid.

In this area, there are also two large-scale solar power projects: Krong Pa Solar Power Plant and Chu Ngoc Solar Power Plant - EVNLICOGI16.

The Chu Ngoc Solar Power Plant - EVNLICOGI16 project has a total investment of more than 941.7 billion VND, an average electricity output of about 52. 911MWh/year, and a land use area of 48ha.

The projects will contribute to ensuring energy security for the region, contributing to the state budget, and creating jobs for local workers.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Que - Vice Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requested the investor to pay attention to prioritizing local labor recruitment; actively participate in social security work; contribute to building a stable and sustainable investment environment, harmonizing interests between businesses and localities.

The "hotpot" land is oriented by Gia Lai to develop renewable energy, high-tech industrial livestock breeding, build large-scale sugarcane material areas, and link production... in order to develop stably, sustainably, and improve people's lives.
