On May 15, the first four monopile foundations for V1-3 and V1-5&V1-6 Phase II offshore wind power projects in Vinh Long, Vietnam, under the EPC contract of GEDI, were successfully shipped.

The offshore wind power project cluster is the largest in terms of unit capacity in Vietnam. It is invested in and developed by Vietnam REE Corporation. Located in the coastal waters of Vinh Long Province, 1.5 to 5 kilometers from the shore, the project cluster has a total installed capacity of 128 MW and features 8 MW-class wind turbines. Its supporting monopile foundations are also the largest of their kind in Vietnam. Upon completion, the project cluster is expected to generate 400 million kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to saving 116,900 tons of standard coal and reducing CO2 emissions by 311,000 tons. It will promote regional green and low-carbon development, representing a vivid practice of pragmatic green energy cooperation between China and Vietnam.

The project strictly adheres to European standards. Drawing on years of comparative research on Chinese and international offshore wind power standards, GEDI has systematically built its overseas engineering design capabilities. Its meticulous site-specific designs have earned recognition from Det Norske Veritas, the employer's engineer. Considering challenges such as shallow intertidal waters, soft silt, frequent tidal scouring, and difficult vessel access, GEDI tackle technical hurdles in large-diameter monopile driving and large-megawatt wind turbine installation. For the first time, 8 MW-class Chinese-made WTGS with monopile foundations are deployed in 2-4 meter shallow waters, effectively shortening the construction cycle. During the transportation of monopile foundations, GEDI leverage its full-process project management capabilities to integrate high-quality manufacturing and professional logistics capacity. By coordinating the entire cross-border maritime shipping chain, it lays a solid foundation for the subsequent processes.
