KHANH HOA, Vietnam, Nov. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexif Ratch Energy has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Khanh Hoa Department of Planning and Investment to collaborate for the development of the 102MW Nexif Energy Khanh Hoa 1 Wind Power Project.
Nexif Ratch Energy obtained a survey license in May 2021, installed 2 on-site met masts in January 2022 and March 2023, and completed a bankable energy yield assessment.

With an estimated investment of USD 155 million, the Project is expected to generate 312,500 MWh of clean energy annually. Upon completion, it will provide significant benefits to local industries and residents, including the creation of over 100 jobs and substantial tax revenues during the construction and operational phases.
