VinEnergo will implement the Dien Bien 1 solar power plant, which has been approved for investment policy, to help supplement clean and stable electricity for the Western North (Tây Bắc) grid. The announcement was made alongside new urban development and renewable energy cooperation activities in Dien Bien.
On May 11, 2026, VinGroup’s An Thái broke ground on a new urban development, resort, and sports services complex in Dien Bien Phủ ward, Dien Bien Phủ district. The same day, An Thái signed a memorandum of understanding on renewable energy development with the Dien Bien Provincial People’s Committee.
The project covers about 228 hectares, with an estimated total investment of over VND 23,660 billion. It is projected to accommodate a population of about 12,000.
The centerpiece is a large sports complex featuring an 18-hole golf course laid out on natural terrain. The development also includes commercial–service–amenity facilities such as a high-end commercial area, an international-standard hotel, a multi-level education system, a healthcare center, public spaces, parks, and water bodies.
