This dataset is an historical list of wind power projects in Vietnam, updated 2022-05-04. The list contains 548 records, among which 360 refer to active projects. It includes the generation capacity, the project’s location at the commune level, its stage classified on the Preliminary / Development / Implementation / Operation / Decommission scale, and wether it is onshore, nearshore or offshore. The sample includes all 146 projects with a Power Purchase Agreement as reported by EVN on 2021-11-02, of which 84 are in Operation projects. No wind project was allowed to start commercial operations between 2021-11-01 and the 2022-05-04. Project investment costs are available for 215 projects. We obtained the dataset by reviewing only public sources: national power development plan updates, provincial investment plans decisions ; the press and the professional literature. This dataset can be used for energy system research and modeling, for policy analysis at the provincial and national levels, and to better understand the market conditions. It provides an inspirational example of how fast it is possible to switch to renewable energy on a national scale. Climate change mitigation requires more stories like this one.
