Increasing the share of green power
The Quang Trach II LNG Thermal Power Plant project is built at Hon La Economic Zone, Phu Trach commune, Quang Tri province, with EVN as the investor and the Power Project Management Board 2 directly managing and implementing the project. This is a nationally important energy project under Power Development Plan VIII with a capacity of 1,612.8MW (2x806.4MW), utilizing combined cycle gas turbine technology. It plays a key role in shifting the power source structure toward a green transition, contributing to energy security, enhancing power system reliability, and fulfilling Vietnam’s commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Power China - Lilama consortium and EVN sign an EPC contract worth over VND 25 trillion for the Quang Trach II LNG Thermal Power Plant project.
The project has a total investment of over VND 52.490 trillion, with 20 percent consisting of equity and 80 percent from commercial loans. The overall project comprises two components: Component 1 - Power Plant, with a total investment of VND 40.123 trillion, and Component 2 - LNG Terminal and Port, with an expected investment of VND 11.800 trillion.
