Khanh Hoa will boost the development and use of alternative energy, especially in islands, according local officials at a conference on the power supply for Ninh Tan Island, Van Ninh District of local competent agencies on March 21st.
Experts at the meeting said that the islanders could have enough power for their daily use of household electrical devices, such as bulbs, T.V. and fans, if each household is equipped with a solar power system with capacity of 350 Wp.
Earlier, local officials had decided to invest VND 4 billion of the provincial budget in the power system of the island.
The island of Ninh Tan, which is home to 55 households, is only about 20 km away from the shore, but its terrains are very complex, which could not connect it to the national power grid.
With good scientific suggestions on the solar power development for the islanders, Vice-Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee directed involved bodies to prepare the project and realise it in order to facilitate the islanders.
