He requested the investor to update and complete the Pre-Feasibility Study Report (PreFS) and gather opinions from the authorities before August 25, 2023, to submit them to the Prime Minister.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should continue coordinating closely with localities which the 500kV transmission line runs through in order to resolve problems related to the conversion of forest and rice field use purposes. The investor should coordinate with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to complete the report on environmental impact assessments of the projects for submission to the Prime Minister.
Minister Nguyen Hong Dien suggested that the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises continue coordinating closely with the MoIT and relevant ministries and sectors to constantly direct and urge investors to implement the projects, ensuring the assigned quality and schedule; study the proposals of the EVN and the EVNNPT on a specific mechanism to report them to the Prime Minister for consideration and decision because these projects are urgent and especially important. Minister Dien also requested the Electricity and Renewable Energy Authority, the Office of the National Steering Committee for Electricity Development to coordinate closely with the investor to implement all the related tasks in accordance with their functions in order to quickly complete project investment procedures.
