During the recent business trip, the Prime Minister visited the complex of Renewable Energy combined with Industrial Production of BIM Group in Thuan Nam district. This is considered a successful example of effectively exploiting local potentials. 

In 2006, BIM Group took the first steps to take advantage of the stable thermal radiation source of Ninh Thuan province to develop industrial salt at Quan The with an output of 300,000 tons/year, contributing 60% of the salt industry in Vietnam. 

Renewable energy combined with the industrial salt production complex of BIM Group is a sustainable economic development model in Ninh Thuan. 

Since 2018, the Group has continued to deploy the cluster of 3 Solar Power Plants BIM 1, BIM 2, and BIM 3. Within 11 months of 2021, BIM Wind Power Plant was officially put into commercial operation and has completed the optimization strategy of exploitation. Mining on an area of ​​2,500 ha produces industrial salt and combines clean energy with a total investment of 12,000 billion VND. 

Quan The salt field has an output of 300,000 tons/year, applying advanced production technology to high-quality clean salt products, creating jobs for hundreds of local workers. The cluster of solar power plants and wind power plants has a total capacity of nearly 500 MW, contributing to providing clean energy for socio-economic development locally and nationally.

Mr. Nguyen Hai Vinh, Deputy General Director of BIM Energy Joint Stock Company, said: "Combining two economic sectors in the same area is to save land resources and maximize the local land use potential. This is a strategy for sustainable economic development"
