The Vietnamese Government is discussing with Singapore-based energy and urban development company Sembcorp to develop a submarine power transmission line between the two countries, reported Reuters.
This announcement follows an official meeting held last week in Singapore between Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Sembcorp deputy chairman Tow Heng Tan.
In addition, Sembcorp Utilities and Vietnam’s state oil firm unit PetroVietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) signed an agreement to construct offshore wind projects to export power to Singapore.
PetroVietnam said the agreement would lead to the development of wind farms with a total capacity of 2.3GW by the end of this decade.
This collaboration represents the first cooperation between the two companies in the field of renewable energy.
