The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) welcomes the recent decision by the Vietnamese government to approve an extension of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme for wind power in the country. However, the proposed dramatic reduction to the FIT risks seriously damaging the growth of Vietnamâs promising wind power sector, slowing down investment and the creation of new jobs and making it harder for Vietnam to meet growing energy demand.
The Ocean Renewable Energy Action Coalition (OREAC) is calling on governments to ramp up their offshore renewable energy ambition to achieve the coalitionâs vision of 1,400 GW of offshore wind by 2050. To support the rapid, global scale-up of ocean-based clean energy, OREAC has published âThe Power of Our Oceanâ as a guiding document for countries to accelerate offshore wind development and reap the socioeconomic, environmental and health benefits it can offer.
