Duane Morris advised on this transaction - What you must know
EAB New Energy GmbH (“EAB”), a German privately held SME with business activities
around the world (Asia, Latin America, South Africa), engaged Duane Morris Vietnam LLC
to advise on one of the very first privately financed Wind Energy Power Purchase
Agreements for a wind power project in Vietnam – the "Mui Dinh" wind project (SPV el-
wind Mui Dinh LLC) with a total investment value at final stage of about 60 Million USD.
EAB, in close co-operation with its subsidiary in Vietnam - WPV Wind Power Vietnam
LLC, has received the Construction Permit for the wind power plant in Ninh Thuan province
and will start the wind farm construction works in due course. Duane Morris Vietnam LLC
advised EAB in the negotiation of the Wind Power Purchase Agreement with the Electricity
of Vietnam (“EVN”) to connect into to the national electricity and sell electricity to EVN (the
“Project”). The Wind Power Purchase Agreement was signed on 01 February 2016. This is
one of the first signed Wind Power PPA in Vietnam and EAB is one of the first foreign
companies with this success.
Given the fact that Vietnam’s wind energy potential is highly appreciated by investors in
comparison to its ASEAN neighbours, and very good for building large wind power plants,
the success of this Project is considered to pave the way for development of another 40 wind
power development in Vietnam, roughly 513,360 megawatts.
This is the beginning of a sizeable privately financed wind energy sector in Vietnam.
