On August 9, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien had a working session with Binh Dinh province regarding the situation of industrial production and trade; the implementation of national industry development plans in the fields of energy and minerals within the province.
At the working session, Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Dinh Province - reported that in the first six months of 2024, the province's economic and social development continued to face many difficulties, challenges, and unpredictable changes; industrial production and export faced many risks...
In 2024, it is expected that 64 industrial production projects will be put into operation in Binh Dinh Province; among them, there are 12 key projects. In the first seven months of 2024, the entire province had 25 projects put into operation with a total investment of approximately 4.133 trillion VND...
Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to pay attention to allocating additional onshore wind power capacity in the adjusted and supplemented plan to implement the Eighth Power Development Plan in case other provinces propose power projects that do not meet the total capacity according to the plan.
Mr. Ho Quoc Dung - Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Binh Dinh Province - said that Binh Dinh Province has done very well in terms of infrastructure such as transportation systems and industrial park infrastructure; it has become a bright spot in terms of tourism, attracting many domestic and international tourists.
"PNE Group (Germany) has registered to conduct research and survey to invest in a 2,000 MW offshore wind power plant project at Hon Trau with an investment of approximately 4.6 billion USD.
I hope the Ministry of Industry and Trade will consider adjusting and supplementing the project with a capacity of 750 MW in the first trial phase as registered by PNE Group for investment in the draft proposal for a pilot project to develop offshore wind power, so that the province has a basis and convenience in attracting investment. This is a large project, I hope the Ministry of Industry and Trade will create favorable conditions for the project to be implemented soon," Mr. Ho Quoc Dung requested.

According to Minister Nguyen Hong Dien, to resolve the difficulties and support the development of PNE Group's (Germany) project, the province needs to cooperate with one of the state-owned economic groups to implement the project, as offshore wind power projects are often related to national defense and security.
Minister Nguyen Hong Dien also agreed to establish a Certificate of Origin (C/O) office in Binh Dinh Province to issue permits, creating convenience for businesses to export and import when processing C/O certificates, as Binh Dinh Province is currently one of the country's major centers for wood and forest product processing and export...
