GE Energy Financial Services and Mainstream to build wind farms in Vietnam

Mainstream Renewable Power and GE Energy Financial Services will develop, build and operate large-scale wind projects in Vietnam.

The projects — a mix of greenfield and partially developed sites — will form part of the 1GW initiative GE and Vietnam’s industry and trade ministry signed in May 2016 to accelerate the build-out of large-scale wind farms in the south-east Asian country.

"We aim to start construction in 2018. As the agreement progresses, we plan to make further joint announcements," says Andy Kinsella, group chief operating officer of Mainstream Renewable Power.
