QUẢNG TRỊ — The People's Committee of Quảng Trị Province and ENI Natural Energies Vietnam LLC on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the creation of carbon credits and agrifeed stock.

Key aspects of the province’s socio-economic potential, major ongoing and upcoming projects and the direction for future development were also addressed at the meeting by Hà Sỹ Đồng, acting chair of the Quảng Trị People's Committee.

“The vibrant development of Quảng Trị is currently being driven by numerous key programmes and projects, many of which involve investors from various countries around the world,” he said.

He added that the province currently has 20 wind power projects with a total capacity of 742.2 megawatts (MW) in commercial operation, 11 hydropower projects operating at 167.5MW, three solar power projects at 119.6MW and a rooftop solar system producing approximately 90.2MW.

The province is also focusing on accelerating the progress of implementing the approved power generation and grid projects in the National Power Development Plan VIII, approved by the Prime Minister on May 15, 2023, Đồng said.

The official expressed his hope that through the signing of the MoU, Quảng Trị and ENI Natural Energies Vietnam LLC will build a comprehensive, responsible partnership, contributing to the effective implementation of Việt Nam’s and Italy’s international ecological environment commitments.

CEO of ENI Natural Energies Vietnam LLC, Giacomo Spadini, said that this is just the start of a long-term partnership.

"We were deeply impressed by the significant changes in Quảng Trị seen during our visits to the Quảng Trị Industrial Park, the Mỹ Thủy deep-sea port and key energy projects at the Southeast Economic Zone," he said.

The company expressed hope for further cooperations with the province, particularly in areas related to natural climate solutions, the environment and carbon credits. — VNS
