The Envision Nậm Pồ Wind Power Plant project has been approved by Điện Biên province for research, surveying, and preparation of a proposal for inclusion in the planning. It has been approved for a site to install wind measurement towers as part of the project research and is included in the Prime Minister's approved National Power Development Plan 8.

He urged the company to expedite the preparation and approval processes for the investment policy and other regulatory procedures to start construction as scheduled.

Cường assured that Điện Biên Province would provide favourable conditions for the project in line with regulations, including investment incentives and support for investment policy approval, project evaluation, land clearance, and project implementation in the province.
