Duane Morris Vietnam has been retained by Trading Construction Works Organization ("WTO") to advise and assist them in the development of the 350 MW intertidal Ca Mau 1 Wind Farm, one of the largest offshore wind power projects in Vietnam.

Duane Morris Vietnam assisted WTO in the preparation, negotiation and execution of the EPC Contract between our client and China Gezhouba Group Company ("CGGC"). On 11 November 2020, WTO and CGGC signed the EPC Contract, marking the first large-scale intertidal wind power project signed by CGGC in Southeast Asia.

The project, located off Ca Mau Province, will add about 1.1 billion kWh to Vietnam's electricity network each year.

The cross-border Turbine Supply Agreement was signed on 11th December. Currently, Duane Morris Vietnam is advising WTO on the execution of other key documents for the project.
