This research evaluates Vietnam’s preparedness for its offshore wind energy program using the SWOT analytical method. The research found out that Vietnam has a lot of strengths and opportunities that makes an investment in offshore wind energy an economically viable option in the context of climate change. Despite the country’s effort towards meeting the requirements for the licensing and contracting of the facility, there are still some important loopholes which could delay the process. Issues such as policy and plan, infrastructure systems, high-tech human resources, territorial sovereignty and national security are threats to the smooth implementation and operation of a offshore wind power plant. |
