Hanoi, June 18 (VNA) – The PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PV Power) is embarking on the construction of nine thermal power plants under the adjusted Power Development Plan VII.
PV Power General Director Nguyen Xuan Hoa said the plants have a total capacity of 5,250MW, using domestic and imported gas.
They include Kien Giang 1, Kien Giang 2, Nhon Trach 3, Nhon Trach 4, Mien Trung 1, Mien Trung 2, Son My 2.1, Son My 2.2, Son My 2.3 plants.
Hoa said PetroVietnam is seeking Prime Minister’s permission to allow PV Power to invest in Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 plants while others are still invested by PetroVietnam.
